I've heard of people doing so, however, with the lack of alkalinity, pH crashes are almost inevitable without large, twice a day water changes. Or so, this was the case when I tried pure DI water for breeding. I couldn't keep the water above 3.8pH.

Straight RO is too unstable, so you'd be stressing your fish constantly. Keep your breeders at 65 - 85 microsiemens and grow outs at 200 - 300 microsiemens.
