I've done it successfully for two Tripplite 1500va and two APC 750va UPS's. They've been running for over 4 years now.
I bought a lifepo4 that specifically said it had a lead acid drop in replacement BMS (battery management system).
The only problem I have had was when I had a two day power outage. After running to complete drain ( and they lasted over 2x longer than my older lead acid), the Trupplites wouldn't charge up after power was restored. I had to pull the batteries and charge them outside the ups to get everything working again.
Under normal use they have worked great.
Lifepo4 works fantastic as a drop in because the peak charge of lead acid is only 80% charge of lifepo4. This means that while you don't get full capacity out of the lifepo4, it never fully charges which dramatically increases the lifepo4 lifespan.
