I guess my reaction to this would be "why would it not work". It's a friction shift lever.
So long as the limit screws on the rear derailleur are set correctly, and the lever has sufficient travel to sweep the entire distance between the high stop and the low stop when connected to the cable, there's no reason it wouldn't work. I suppose you could also talk about cable pull ratios and maybe there's a situation under which a friction shift lever didn't have enough travel because of multiplication or division of travel, but it still goes back to the same question, is there enough travel when the thing is connected to a cable, so more or less a yes or no question.
