No, it doesn’t work correctly in 4.7.2, the latest stable version:
All pixel values, such as paddings, borders, etc., are designed
for 96dpi displays and are not scaled up. E.g., for a 2 px window
border, you need 5 px on a retina display to achieve the same
physical width.
Oh. I use 1px border and have no other decoration from i3, so I did
not consider that.

Doesn't sound like this will be invasive or annoying, so carry on! :-)
