A few times just for experiment I've grafted wood w/o buds and had them take, but greatly reduced percentage. They also take a very long time for an adventitious bud to develop and break out. 

I've done this with persimmon only, and may not work with hard woods such as walnut & pecan. I suspect Malus and Prunus would work and Pyrus also.

It'll work with pecan and hickory.  I've grafted 2-yr and older stuff (though I don't prefer it), when there was no vigorous 1-yr wood available, and had adventitious buds sprout, and grow quite nicely.
