Is it possible to use Filebeat 6.0 with ES Cluster 5.x?

Filebeat has a lot of great features. Is the output of filebeat compatible with ES Cluster 5.x? Including mapping, kibana dashboards, etc?

This page does not have 6.0 yet https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#show_compatibility

Filebeat will detect that it's communicating to ES 5.x and use the appropriate index template. I think some of the new Filebeat modules have dashboards that only work with 6.x. But I'm not 100% certain on the dashboards b/c I haven't tried it.
