That's what I use and have been using since before/in-between I've been playing Gypsy Jazz.
Before GJ when I was playing accoustic guitar it wasn't loud enough so I incorporated "rest stroke" picking (before I discovered gypsy rest stroke picking) into my economy picking, meaning I dig into the string in the direction I'm going.
There are exceptions to the rule, but generally, no.
Purely a matter of volume, then tone. Jam sessions are the proving ground. Clearly master players can make anything work, but if you're trying to pivot into GJ with an electric picking style, you're gonna struggle in a live setting.
