Assuming you can get through to get the game fully validated /decrypted/unlocked, I would hope so.
And it's a matter of when, not if Rockstar social club melts down. It barely holds together with the current crop of releases. Social club went down twice over this past weekend that I know yof. Throw in a whole new wave of players, on wildly varying machines, it's going to be a shitshow.
Sounds wonderful..... Here's hoping I make it through the validation. From what I've heard it's fairly unobtrusive but what you say is disheartening yet easily imagined.
