I did this last year (setup a new FB account, transferred points, and purchased ticket for an immediate family member) and didn't have any issues. The ticket was relatively small value 10-12K for a short hop flight within Europe. Just one data point so YMMV.

Edited to add: forgot we are in 2026, this was in 2024 so not last year
