Yes it can be done and if properly constructed, such a knot will not significantly weaken the line.
For joining equal diameter braided lines the uni to uni is best.
For unequal diameters the Albright / Alberto is good but I have been using a short spider hitch in the 20lb and then to back to back unis. I use braid exclusively on my spinner bait set-ups and use a 20lb running line (Sufix) and a braid casting (shock) leader of between 50lb and 100lb depending on the set-up's duty. When using 80 or 100 the 20 really needs to be doubled to resist slippage.
Yes, it gives you two knots about 4-6 inches apart but they go thru the guides fine and I use Fuji LSCG SiC Lowriders exclusively on my distance rigs (20mm gathering guide).
