Well, it's not OK if you want it to be reasonable usable by anyone.

But I don't believe this would be a WCAG 2.0 failure. The relevant
success criterion is 1.3.1 which deals with visual presentation and
relationships being provided programmatically. Because there are not
visual headers for this table, there are no visual relationships that
would need to be provided via page semantics.
