Why not?  I use it (though in a modified way -- I tar a base jail  
without /bin /usr etc but with /etc etc and then I use nullfs mounts  
to duplicate one base jail install.

But my /etc in each jail is copied with tar (as is a bunch of stuff  
including the base / with dirs for usr bin sbin etc) and it works
