By less working room do you mean a thinner dof? Or that you have to be closer to focus?
For a given magnification and aperture combination, the DOF will be the same, whichever lens you use. The main advantage of a wideangle lens is that a shorter extension is needed for a given increase in magnification.
Also, any lens, including specialised macro lenses, has an optimum magnification range and its performance will peak at one or two apertures. That may be different when reversed. Keep this in mind for when you are optimising your results but be more relaxed about trying out reversed lens macro.
