It should work, as the ABS sensor & computer has no idea with caliper is being used. They only analyze wheel-speed. The algorithm goes something like this:
1. sensor picks up wheel-speed using tone-ring on wheel.
2. computer checks wheel-speed
3. if wheel's spinning, everything's OK
4. if wheel's not spinning, reduce brake-fluid pressure
5. go back to #2
The more sophisticated systems may analyze both front & rear wheel speeds, throttle-position, lean-angle, etc. They are also more analogue in their action where they may not just look at wheel locked yes/no, but looks at rate-of-change of speed to catch it sooner. And also the brake-fluid reduction may be done in smaller increments for less intrusive action (less pulsing/shaking).
