It works great*. Just one spacer at the back to replace the missing cog.
In the same vein as technically Shimano 10spd and 11spd have different cable pull ratios but they’re functionally inter compatible.
If you really want a taste of drivetrain mismatching, I’ve also used 8-cogs of a 10-speed cassette with a 12-Speed Eagle drivetrain with bang-on shifts in every ratio.
