Absolutely !
For squared loss almost every theorem you want to be to be true are actually true. In a way its dangerous because it sets up bad expectations (* no nerd pun intended).
A result that holds for squared loss but not for others is the SVD as a low rank approximation of a matrix.

*Expectation minimizes the squared loss
