If you have the space for it. I dont see why not. I used a PCI-E NvMe expansion card for a while with my Z-370 build. You'll still be limited by Gen 3 PCI-E speeds with X79 though but still an upgrade over Sata III

If you are thinking about using it as a boot drive though. I recall some X79 systems not actually liking it and you'll need to jump through some hoops to maybe get the system to boot off it.

This one is one of the best quality one. It has a thinner version too.
