Sure, if you can guarantee that the specific program uses the tunnel for the specific connections required.
It is not uncommon for programs to to either not use the tunnel correctly or not use it at all.
While its nice when a program let's you pick the egress interface for its network traffic, split tunneling is still on the host os for handling its route table and making sure that's set up correctly. Like, were people setting up split tunnel networks where they were treating the vpn interface as a proxy, pointing the software at it, and just hoping for the best?
