Great!

Let me know how your tests go.

Yep. I run kernels with both EVMS and LVM enabled. Just make sure you don't
mount the same LV with both systems at the same time. Also, if you make any
volume modifications with one system (add/delete LVs, add/delete PVs from a
VG, etc), you may need to reboot in order for the other to pick up the
changes.
