I think it should be fine, as long as you use a sharp XO like an LR4. I'm not even sure you need a dipole sub at that frequency -- it's below the modal range of most rooms (though a dipole sub has a major advantage when it comes to not disturbing your neighbors). If you use a steep crossover like an LR4 you should be OK, the radiation pattern will transition from dipole to cardoid to monopole. (All speculative, of course -- I haven't heard this combination.)

Anyway, you could go with Linkwitz, a Ripole, or an H-frame like the GR Research. Smaller drivers sound better in the range above, but in the bottom octave, I don't think you'll hear a difference.
