Sure it can work, and maybe the nice thing is that you can much better custom the lake shore appearance. Some possible disadvantages:
1.the plates are visible from smaller distance than normal water, I'm not sure but a plate lake would be visible from something like 5-10 Km distance.
2. being no "real" water you'll not be able to have fancy seaplanes take offs or landings on it.
3. it needs to be visually very well done to compete with the normal water look at close distance
EDIT: the "plate world" for map building is pretty much unexplored, I think many nice things could be done maybe I'll start some brainstorm thread about it
