Sure! I currently work at a place where there are deadlines and no sprints. It works very well for me, and for the company too apparently. There are customers who expect their stuff to be shipped and the product has a month by month roadmap.
Now, over-engineering is a risk but I think I'm lazy enough to avoid it most of the time. I probably have the opposite issue sometimes.
We do get things done without running for a deadline most of the time though, so it works okay without deadlines for the some non negligible part.
We'd be dead if we didn't release. There isn't any investor's money to compensate.
