No... because this won't work when there's more than one staff. You'll
get 2 second voltas:

\version "2.4.5"
\layout{ raggedright = ##t }
\score{
  <<
    \relative c' {
      \repeat volta 2 { f g a2 ~ }
      \alternative {
        { a4 g2 f4 }
        { \grace{ \hideNotes a4~ } \unHideNotes a g2. }
      }
    }
    \new DrumStaff {
    \drummode {
      \repeat volta 2 { sn4 sn sn sn}
      \alternative {
        {sn4 sn sn sn }
        {sn4 hh2. }
      }
    }
    }
  >>
}


Try this instead:

\version "2.4.5"
\layout{ raggedright = ##t }
\score{
  <<
    \relative c' {
      \repeat volta 2 { f g a2 ~ }
      \alternative {
        { a4 g2 f4 }
        { s64 \grace{ \hideNotes a4~ } \unHideNotes a4*1/2 s16 s32 s64 g2. }
      }
    }
    \new DrumStaff {
      \drummode {
        \repeat volta 2 { sn4 sn sn sn}
        \alternative {
          {sn4 sn sn sn }
          {sn4 hh2. }
        }
      }
    }
  >>
}



yes... ugly.
