[Opinions] Rhys
Would Rhys (this spelling) work as a namesake for Ryan?

At a pinch, yes. Although from different countries, and meaning different things, they do have a Celtic background in common.
I much prefer Rhys to Ryan.
But Rowan might be an alternative to consider.

If it's good enough for you, then it's good enough.

Sure! It's pretty common for honoring by using a same letter or sound or even meaning. Rhys wouldn't be obvious, but the bearer would understand, and that's what's important.
I *love* Rhys and it's quite high on my favourites list. I don't think it works as a namesake for Ryan, though. They're from different cultures and sound completely different (REES / RIE-un). The only commonality is that they're both an 'R' name with a 'y' in them. Not really namesake material in my opinion.
I don't see any connection between these two names, the common letters of R and Y are not significant.
