no

it's not going to work for the same reason 1st person platforming doesn't work unless it's done right.

It's pretty uncommon, but that doesn't mean it can't work. Super Mario Bros for Wii U, although not isometric, uses a similar camera perspective to isometric games, and it's a great platformer. But I imagine building a 2D isometric platformer would be pretty tough to get right.

I've thought about that a lot, and I honestly think it can work if it is done in a good way to fit the use of isometric view. I remember seeing some indie developer working on his game that was isometric although I can't remember what it was called but it looks pretty good.

I also think you could consider Bastion as a platformer is a weird sense.
