I would guess, it depends. If you have the glue process perfectly 
under control and the placement is OK, why not? Maybe you will need 
to try it first with a dummy board and to optimize the layout and the 
settings of your wave inluding scrapping 100 prototype boards. 
Philips (good old times, when research - Klein-Wassink! -, 
P&P/soldering equipment, passive components and active components 
were together) they had wave soldering recommendations for 0.5mm 
pitch QFPs and I know many designs (mostly high volume consumer 
stuff) where it worked fine.

Maybe you find at Vishay (last not least former Philips Components 
passsives business) recommendations which look reliable.
