Yes. I have a DEMI high-power 2m transverter working just fine with my 5000 right now. I've tried all of my DEMI high-power transverters for 144, 222, and 432 with my 5000 individually, and they worked just as expected (using an external N6CA sequencer, preamp, Lunar-Link legal limit amplifier, and appropriate coaxial T/R relays on each band). Getting all of them and their preamps & amps integrated under a fully-automated switching system under software control is only waiting on me to stop spending so much time at work and spending more time on ham radio projects.
