You are probably on the INSIDE of the borderline where it will likely
work. Try it. Setup a test domain and just do it.

If you get a few errors but it generally works you can likely
live with that.

The problem with SMTP replication is that it requires different DOMAINS
(by design) and so only replicates forest wide information.

One thing you don't mention: Is the satellite connectivity consistent
or at least at predictable times?

(I have one client whose African remote sites get a different satellite
"time window" each day since the satellite is not geosynchronous but
change location/time each day.)
