Yes you can. A couple of projects have used them but I have heard that they can have issues with interference. I think those are the same lights. A good person would be to ask the Greek Gods project. I believe he used them.
Okay. Sorry I was thinking of the Cuphead project. Greek Gods does use serial RGB LED's but they are a different type and I believe he is the one who talked about there being errors due to interference. Anyway. Wish I was more help.
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Yes you can. A couple of projects have used them but I have heard that they can have issues with interference.
If those have issues, is there a better alternative?

check out lyonsden ( professor pinball) pinduino kits. He uses these for GI in spider-man and a few others.
I'm just using these https://www.pinballlife.com/p3-roc-single-rgb-gi-pcb-assembly.html They aren't serial but they are addressable and integrate well with the Multimorphic LED boards.

what game are you looking to do this with ?

Serial LEDs are easy to use in MPF. You can use WS2811 christmas lights as GIs. I use a few hundred of those in my machine. Docs are here: https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/mechs/lights/leds.html#serial-leds and https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/mechs/lights/ws2812.html.
