Work fine for what?
Speed will be about 1/3 the expected performance of that drive.
Booting may not be possible without a 3rd party BIOS upgrade.
Personally, I wouldn't until I have a motherboard that can use that drive natively to its full extent.
I also have a Z97 board (ASRock), and haven't gone to an NVMe drive for those specific reasons. All my drives are SATA III SSD.
Drive is PCIe Gen3 x 4, while motherboard M.2 is PCIe Gen2 x 2.
Drive will be limited to up to 10Gb/s. That can be doubled to 20Gb/s by using a PCIe x4 adapter card for M.2 drives.

Motherboards as old as Gigabyte Z97 do not have PCIe 3.0 for those NVMe drives.
