Go for it and I have played against mutes before, and deaf and blind (even deaf and partially sighted players).
My main tip for all these "crutch" characters is to always play the character first and the mute second (or last), never define this character as the mute.
Use the emotes creatively, but also use obvious ways to communicate like writing and drawing.. or even an enchanted speaking parrot. I once gave a mute in SWTOR a tablet that spoke out what he typed, in a very girlie voice (such is the lessons of a Jedi).
Personally I think this is the character's player's problem to sort out.. so:

- Don't expect me to play RP charades with you, that gets boring really fast
- Do expect me to misunderstand your emotes
- Do expect me to fill in gaps with guesses that are wrong and not wait around for you to articulate
