sure, why not? nothing wrong with it.

yes it will work fine for still-life type panos. if you want to shoot people, it won't work so well.

I shot a lot of panoramas with my Nikon 17 to 35mm f/2.8 lens on my Nikon D3 with good results. I found it important to set the lens to it's widest setting and not to change the focal length by bumping the lens barrel during the shoot. I also shot an entire panorama with the lens zoomed-in all the way and I didn't realize the mistake until I tried editing the images. Another important point to remember is to shut off the auto-focus before starting your photo sequence. I can do this with a switch on my lens but if your lens doesn't have a switch, there is a 3-position switch on the D3 that you can set to "M" to shut off the auto focus. It's in the 400 page manual somewhere. And I guess while I'm at it, I also set the white balance on something other than auto and of course I use the manual setting for exposure control. I have a check list that I think I have memorized so I use it every other time I shoot panoramas. Seems that only the ones shot with the checklist turn out. With a lot of practice, you'll actually get good at turning all those camera features back on when you're done with your panoramas and shooting conventional photos. Maybe.
