I don't see why it wouldn't/couldn't/shouldn't be done......

given similar shape and dimension,....an airfoil is an airfoil...., and as long as it produces enough lift to get the plane in the air, you can expect similar results. all the other aspects are just semantics. weight and strength are not an issue, if the wing is built decently and an imbalance from a slightly different wing weight can be easily compensated or adjusted. the plane doesn't know and doesn't care what the wing is made of.
