If you keep the vacuum/pressure very low, I would be it works just fine for flushing fluid. But too much pressure will probably mess up the seals and allow air into the system and fluid to escape past the seals.

If you do a CSC delete kit and SS clutch line and HD CMC kit, then you pretty much replace everything in the clutch hydraulic system except for one longer hardline. Very easy to blow out with compressed air during the install. With only the OEM master left, I still saw lots of contaminants in the system on a regular basis. I had to flush clutch fluid twice a year at least because of this.
The Vacuum tool that I use (Mityvac knockoff) does not apply any pressure to the system (unlike the Motive system) I would say that the seals would have to be really bad and would not handle the pressure of pressing down on the clutch if they could not handle a small amount of suction put on the bleeder screw. Specs for the unit are Vacuum @ 90 psi(6.2 bar): 26 in. Hg (88 kP or -1.9259414420980008 psi relative to atmosphere
