Uh no.  You need the rest, or you need to write something like
\beaming {4 8[ 8] 8[ 8 8 8]}

And where the overrides can be used, the meter might not be known yet,
so one needs to write something like
\beaming 4/4 { ... }
(somewhat redundant) and/or require that the argument consists of
whole bars separated by bar checks.

It is probably easiest to require the time specification always (it is
needed for setting baseMoment and figuring out measureLength): that way
the chance for users to mess up once they have LilyPond stop complaining
is minimized.
