If a board supports QMK it can be made to use via/vial.

If a PCB has a compatible controller chip which has not been crippled by a manufacturer it can be made to run QMK.

If the chip is not supported and you somehow force a flash you'll have a dead PCB.

Definitely not something to try until you know it's a good idea.
