No - converting dynamic disks is problematic because MBR-based dynamic disks store their metadata at the end of the disk, in the same sectors that are needed for the backup GPT. For GPT-based dynamic disks, the metadata table has to be moved to a different location on the disk, which would basically require to implement a whole partition manager in gptgen. Patches are welcome, though.

However, it is safe to run gptgen on a dynamic disk - gptgen detects if the disk is dynamic, and bails out early before writing anything to the disk.
