Yeah totally, I prefer coconut myself, but rotate what I get with what is on sale. It's nice we have so many non dairy options available today, and that they work interchangeably with baking.
Some recipes I noticed will specifically say, "whole milk" and I've worried the non dairy milk will not have enough fat or whatnot, but thus far I've never had issue with the replacement. Like you said, even the lemon/vinegar trick to make 'buttermilk' works with the non dairies, I've no idea the science behind it, but it's helpful!
