I have; works fine.
My experience:
10 sp chains work with anything including 3/32 fixed cogs tho' they
might slip between chainrings on older cranksets.
9 sp chains work on anything including some 10 sp cassettes
8 sp chains rub -- slightly -- on 9 sp and 10 sp but work with anything else

It should work, but why? 9 speed chains are more expensive then their

appropriate chain. Good Luck!
