Yes, why don't you simply try? ;-)
I did with RE23 and it works. You may run into some issues when having 
nested objects in a tree hierarchy though. Depends on your data.

syncrepl is a protocol initiated by the client. AFAIK in standard mode 
it just detects that an entry as a whole was changed by searching and 
then changes are applied locally as needed by the replica itself. 
delta-syncrepl (less chatty) might have issues with this scenario.
