You cant shoot luminance with an Achro, this is its main downfall imo. As for individual rgb frames I cant see why they wouldn't work. The thing is that you are just going to reduce the bloating of each colour by reducing the wavelength range that gets to the sensor, the individual colour filters let through a range of wavelengths and these will still come to focus at different points.
