I bet you can and I bet you can configure the server the way you like - it is just another PC ;-) regardless hypervisors and underlaying stuff.
No, but: X11 is one of those things that one doesn't always install on servers.If one wants GPU acceleration, one commonly does not install GPUs on servers.
Behavior over a network might be a bit problematic. I expect network jitter might interfere with things like fine drawing with a wacom tablet.
Now, if one works in a graphics shop, with a serious rendering cluster in the same room – then maybe running GIMP on the server might make some sense.
