Question Using Philly Sour yeast with an extract kit?

Hi hello, beer beginner here. I don't have the space/money/time to make all grain, so currently I'm using those pre-made extract kits (Pour out the liquid malt extract, add 800g of dextrose + yeast, mix and brew).

I'd like to try making a sour gose beer next, and found the Philly Sour yeast available at a store near me. Can I replace the yeast the kits usually have with the Philly one (and add lemon zest extract + yuzu juice after it's finished brewing)? Or is there more to it? Thanks!

Philly Sour works fine in extract, the lactic acid production comes from the yeast itself not the grain bill, so no real downside there
