I think it is possible, but there are a few things to consider.
If you have some sort of combustible heat source you need to make sure there is some sort of fresh air available and 2 or 3 carbon monoxide detectors.
There will be a higher humidity inside the greenhouse but depending on where you live it may not be a concern. A greenhouse in an arid area will rarely reach the humidity of outside climate in a tropical area.
If you have a reliable heat source for the greenhouse, like a rocket mass heater, the warmer greenhouse will make it easier to keep the small house warm in the winter months. Vice versa for cooling in the summer months, but have fans handy to circulate the air.
I have thought of building a large greenhouse in the yard to use as a sort of closed in patio area for a tiny house built right next to it. The patio area for the small house will be in the greenhouse. If I go ahead with this plan I will put a small pool, maybe 15' round 4' deep, inside the back corner of the greenhouse. If I heat the pool water in the winter months it will help warm the greenhouse, our winters don't get very cold here. In the summer the humidity from the pool will help cool the greenhouse, evaporative type cooling in a high desert environment.
When in doubt, doubt the doubt.
