I get the feeling that if Rockstar is playing with Tactics installed, he would know about it, and know that a Solo Necromancer (no Project Image!) hasn't got a prayer of beating Improved Irenicus without every HLA and cheese in the book. Therefore I feel safe in tell him to go right ahead, regular Irenicus (both of them) is an absolute doddle, just make sure to have some good Summons available and be ready to think on your feet. Note: I'm not saying the final level is easy, just that Irenicus is.

Then again, if you want to continue playing the game, you're going to have to install ToB soon. Very, very soon, in fact. So you can either
a) Stop playing right now (probably starting all over again with a new character), and resume when you've got ToB installed, or
b) Beat the game with your Necromancer right now, then install ToB, and slowly come to the conclusion that all the EXP you earned in Chapter 7 didn't count for anything, and you also don't get to keep the effects of the Tears (the meaning of this will become clear to you in the final battle).

In conclusion: Yes you can, but no you shouldn't.
