A DAW's delay compensation software can deal with plugin latency. But it can't compensate for latency outside the box, whether or not the i/o is digital. If the fx unit in question is time-based like a delay or reverb, there won't be a problem. But if it's something like a compressor used in parallel with ITB channels, you'll get phase issues that can only be resolved by printing the fx back into the DAW and then nudging the new track into sync. Not worth it, in my opinion.
