Yup, it'll work fine. Any kind of sugar is going to do something, yeast is good that way. Honey tends to be popular as much because of its taste being neutral-ish as anything else. But it does have taste compared to plain table sugar. I've used molasses back when I could still bake regularly, and it does fine as well. Never used maple syrup personally (cost is higher than other options down here), but I've seen it successfully used.
