You can use any encoding that is set-up properly for its purpose.

What we cannot support (since TeX cannot) is accurate hyphenation
incompatible encodings are used in the same paragraph.

At present, therefore, standard LaTeX contains support only for
"T1-compatible" encodings (this includes the new T2* encodings).

Note that this affects only tfm/vf encodings, not the encodings of the
raw font files.
