Not familiar with that term, but I assume you mean the more common solid core tantalum caps.

Yes, they'll work but are not as robust. When they go bad, they typically short.

The reason these are used at all is low ESR over wide frequency and temperature. -55C to +125C! You typically see them in test equipment and military grade gear.
