I don't see why that would not work for LED's, but I
think you should look for something with latched
outputs, like the 74HC595 or similiar, that way you won't
get glitches when updating the outputs. However an extra
line is required to strobe the latches. Past experience has
shown that you usually can combine this with some other
function, so it doesn't cost you an extra pin after all :-)
