I've done it with some stuff (metal bedframe) but you have to be really careful like the other anon says. I probably wouldn't try if I didn't have a shitload of experience using impacts as a mechanic.
The much safer and more useful hack for IKEA stuff is one of those mini bit ratchets, I have the ICON one but most brands have them now. I recently moved into a new house and furnished my bedroom and office from scratch (my old stuff was beat to shit and mismatched, not worth dragging halfway across the country) and the little ratchet made assembling all that furniture a billion times easier than using normal allen wrenches and screwdrivers, while still being very controllable and short enough that it'd be hard to overtorque anything.
