It will work, but if you need SSL or mail you will need to take some actions

Yes - that's what CNAME records are for. The only thing you have to watch out for is if you do it for your root domain, it'll screw with all the MX records etc. and you'll need to recreate them in the other domain (it redirects all queries) - this may not actually be possible. But if you create it for say www.yourdomain.bob or apps.yourdomain.io it should be fine.
