Yes, electrically it is fine but code is more often concerned with the
physical installation than it is with the circuit itself (since wrong wiring
usually results in no light or blown breakers, it is usually obvious)

In addition to the box load rated (up to 40 lbs after that you need to bolt
to a rafter). You need the proper wire gague for the breaker, proper
routing and stapling of the wire between the box and switch (which covers a
lot depending on where the wire goes) etc. And if any wires are aluminum,
there are additional concerns.
