That's what I've done, with success. Again, I've only used friction setups, so can't speak to indexing.
And again, and btw, I've also used another strategy: a mtb fd mounted really high above the ring (ie, high enough to clear the stay). Seems to work fine, perhaps because mtb fds have large inner plates. Example: LX fd and 38 t "outer" ring in middle position (38/24, guard in place of original 46 t ring). IME, the bigger hassle is getting the best lateral angle for the cage.
