It is all a matter of adjusting the watering schedule accordingly.

I used moss/bark mix (4:1 in small pots, 3:1 in larger pots) exclusively for some 15-20 years, while I was limited to one watering a week due to business travel. Photo shows a plant after +/-24 months in this mix.

My dad used same mix in his commercial orchid nursery for 35 years, so we have some track record using it.
