In theory, yes. In practice, there would likely be some tradeoffs involved regarding the need for fragmentation, protocol timer adjustments, etc.

So adding LoRa or other low bandwidth / low MTU / high latency transports would be possible, but would need specific engineering for rate limiting and traff...
