I hope so because I did. Doing well so far  :).

I am told that you can move leeks several times if need be too  :).

You do run the risk of the leeks inheriting any diseases from the onions.  Personally I wouldn't grow them back to back.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Not quite an answer to your question but I planted half a dozen leeks in between my shallots today. The shallots are my best ever and some of them put my onions to shame (probably says more about the state of my onions). Just wanted to keep all my alliums together in one place for this growing season.

With so much onion rot about these days, you risk concentrating it in an area with lots of alliums (leeks, garlic, shallots, onions, green onions, lilies).

While it's handier to keep them in one area, you're better off planting them elsewhere and putting in something else like beans or a cover crop of green manure like rye.
