Yes, it is practical.

You wouldn't reach full speed (asynchronous) and will
run into trubble, if you like to use synchronous, But it will work.
SCSI controller-chips does nothing else as you wil do with the MCU.

Look at SCSI  specifications. There you find the SCSI-commands, thats all you need.
It's easy to write it yourself!
