Is it safe to use a fan control with any ceiling fan as long as you wire it properly?
No.

There are different ways to design fan motors and speed controls.  Many of the technologies are incompatible with each other.  The industry does not want to help you match up brand X fan to brand Y control, because Brand X also sells a fan with feature Y, and they want to upsell you into that instead.  

Since they don't want you doing it, they don't list their products for that use (i.e. Ask UL to test and certify it as safe).  You must install all electrical machines consistent with their listing/instructions.
