If you don't use the w1 drivers, yes. But it is rather old,
so you should update in any case.

(The owfs version shipped with Jessie has a broken --w1 when
working with kernel-3.16 as shipped with Jessie.)

Testing(Stretch) has owfs-3.1p1. You can use the owfs packages
from the Raspbian testing repository. Edit (or create) your
/etc/apt/preferences to contain:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: *
Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 300
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is important so you keep stable (Jessie) for all packages but the ones
explicitly taken from testing (Stretch).


Then, add a line
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ testing main contrib non-free rpi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
to your /etc/apt/sources.list to get access to the Raspbian testing
repository.

Do an

$ sudo apt-get update

to read the package metadata, then check

$ sudo apt-cache policy

whether the testing repo is there with priority 300. Then

$ sudo apt-get update -t testing owserver ow-shell

That should install all you need, including the startup files and systemd units.
Note you have to edit /etc/owfs.conf again to contain (this and only this)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
!server: server = localhost:4304
server: w1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restart the owserver service after that.

Kind regards
