Using NPM or Yarn with Webpacker in a Rails project

Question

I have been reading the Webpacker documentation for Rails to potentially use ReactJS in a Rails project. It says that Yarn is a dependency of Webpacker. But I noticed that NPM 5 has been upgraded to be as fast and efficient as Yarn. My question: Can I use NPM with Webpacker instead of Yarn and has anyone tried this before without any major issues?
