Given many things won't boot on UEFI, I would say it certainly can't.

The big problem is that the thing you are booting probably expects to
see an optical drive and you aren't providing it with one (except in
the case of isostick it seems).

I have encountered rather odd UEFI designs that did not boot stuff that
should have worked.
