I would try it and see if it feels ok for you, my bike had cantilevers and I had to replace the rear brake. I put a V-brake on the rear and use the V-brake levers on the front and rear. It is fine for me.
If it doesn't work for you, they do make levers that can be changed from long pull to short pull.
