Should be fine

I'd be less happy about an electronic transformer

Electronic ones generally work if you leave one halogen in the set.

One I had worked fine with only LEDs for over 12 months and then started
flashing the whole lot on and off. Two different replacements units
flashed too. One halogen in the set and all worked fine again.

I had a set of 4 halogens (200W total) running from a large toroidal
transformer and replaced with LEDs around 2.5 years ago. I've seen no
problems with the operation or longevity of the LEDs so far. The MR16
are fitted in small clamps attached to a pair of suspended wires and
therefore are totally in free air which provides better ventilation than
the same if fitted into enclosed lamp holders.
