Yes, white lithium grease is okay for gears and metal bushings but over time, it can get gummy and sticky. Unless you are going to clean and relube once or twice a year, I don't recommend it.
Remember, it's use is for metal on metal contact. It does contain petroleum so keep clear of your cylinder and use silicon grease in there as petroleum will kill your orings.
