My post is all speculation, not experience....however
I would expect that the slower the ramp, the more likely it would work. The reason I say that is that the lash ramp on a solid cam is less steep and allows the lifter to start spinning before spring pressure ramps up quickly. So, if the lobe profile was slow, off the seat it'd likely spin and then after that not really an issue.
However, if the lack of the lash ramp on a steeper lobe stalled the lifter, you'd be done in short order.
I have also heard of successes, and I believe Jay did it on an Edelbrock RPM cam successfully, but I'd be very leery to do iut without entering it with the acceptance it may eat a lobe
