Yes, but they shouldn't burn oil.
Can an engine burn oil and still run well? Of course, depending on the amount. As an example, I had an Oldmobile Cutlass Ciera that burned a little oil, and the engine was running fine at 290,000+ miles. However, an engine shouldn't burn oil.

Ah life, it's never quite as black and white as we'd like it to be.
