Been discussed many times. The consensus seems to be its more trouble than its worth.
Omega covers leak if the breathers arent cleaned regularily or they arent  torqued correctly. If the breathers arent cleaned regularily with metal covers fitted the covers wont leak, but the crank seal will leak instead. Thats a whole lot more hassle to sort than cam cover gaskets would be.
Your oild filler will also be in the wrong place. And they look horrible imo.

In answer to your question, yes.

But it's not advisable

Looked into it myself, its not worth doing on a mig only if you have a c25xe in Calibra.

Technically yes, but you'd be a bit daft to...
