Theoretically yes. However because these tires have such a stiff low sidewall it’s going to be difficult but not impossible to replace the tpms without removing the tire from the rim.

Yes, not that difficult with a tire machine. I've done it before and am about to do it again on another set. You're not really compressing/bending the sidewall. More so just pushing it down and bending the tread face.
