When your message and timing is relevant, any channel will work. LinkedIn is no exception, it always works better when you are already connected and your contact has some idea of what you do and how expert you are (c.f. @byalexai relevant post below). I have done it in the past.

If you do it properly and authentically it works.

Yes if personalized and thoughtful.
