I just did. I put an 8MHz clock directly on 6569R5 VIC's pin 22.

Heavy colour bleeding and some dot crawl on some colour changes aside - perfect. So I tuned the clock to be 7.88MHz and it seemed fully perfect. Subjectively better than with original clock, although I'd have to connect it to spec analyser and a truly hi-res display to be convinced about that.

That I wasn't able to confirm due to lack of any modern TV close at hand.
