Yes, it would be compatible. I have done this on at least three boxen at
least five times, and then upgraded the backported kernel, and so far it has
always been successful - and solved the problem I was trying to solve.
The Wheezy box I am typing this on was upgraded to 3.10 from backports, has
been upgraded as upgrades were available, and is currently on 3.14.
I generally leave at least four kernels: the Wheezy standard one, the first I
upgraded to, the most recent and the one immediately before the most recent.
I have then got lots of room to get out of trouble.
