It has gone well when I've done that, but I was slightly more liberal with rests to make up for the lack of healing/cleric.   If you are using the PHB, I'd say a paladin or ranger along with a rogue or wizard coul work well.   Really though, if I only have a couple of players, I encourage them to play whatever class they want and as a DM, I find a way to make it work.
