I'm thinking that the higher temp diff across the TEC coupled with the thermal expansion coefficient of the cheramics may lead to cracking of it. Depending ofcourse on IHS vs. pelt size.

However with something like a 40mm square pelt on a IHS you may be fine. Don't expect stellar performance though.
