It worked for Islam (too successfully at first - the revenues from taxing unbelievers plunged and the resulting crisis led to the ousting of the Ummayad Caliphate by the Abbasids).
Furthermore even if the original conversion is only half-hearted, the children of the converts will not have much attachment to the old ways. That was how Tarsh was converted: over time.
