In theory, yes. When I tried this, some years ago, in the era when
IE4 and NN4 still needed to be considered, I found that some browsers
were quite reluctant to style <hr> itself, and I finished up with a
plan which involved putting the <hr> (which I retained for fallback
use when CSS was unsupported or disabled) inside <div>, and using CSS
for styling the <div> (and for setting the hr width to 0 so that it
didn't show). [1]
Do we have current information on any residual problems with merely
styling the <hr> itself?

Amen to that.
[1] if anyone's still interested in this history:

but the content hasn't been substantively revised since 2002 or so.
