Would a GUT-monopole powered rocket be feasible?

Would a rocket or Bussard ramjet powered by monopole induced proton decay (Callan-Rubakov mechanism) be a feasible method for near-light interstellar flight? There are such drives in the Orion's Arm worldbuilding project (conversion drives) and in some of Alistair Reynolds's stories, but there seems to be little other interest in them.
