Pretty sure that it'll work fine.

The issue is when you're using normal caliper/cantilever levers with v-brakes. V-brakes require more pull so caliper/cantilever levers don't pull enough which then gives you almost no braking until it locks up the brakes.

With a v-brake lever you're going to be pulling too much cable. Which just means your brakes are a bit more sensitive which you can adapt to.

What type of bike is it? If you're not willing to pay for a different lever then I assume it's not a performance issue so I'd just live with it.

I'm trying to get more brake power on m bodged together trike. The lever is a modified dual v brake lever, the calipers are dual pivots, I can't change this set up with out new wheels and disc brakes. I'm hoping to get some more lever pull as the moment it only moves about a cm. THis should give a bit more leverage to help squeeze the brakes against the rims. At the moment you really have to pull hard to stop due to the trike being so heavy.
