I play a lot of fingerstyle jazz and the nylon-string is very nice. Lots of folkie stuff sounds fine.
You CAN do anything you like, of course. Willie plays his jazzy-country stuff with a flatpick on a nylon string. Works for him.

In Latin countries, nylon string instruments are virtually standard.

But you don't hear a lot of bluegrass flatpicking done on one, and blues tends to loose it's cutting "twang".....
