There is no reason a an RMI can not be used for tracking a VOR radial. It is usually not required because you can just follow the track bar, but on one aircraft I fly the Capt has Nav 1 on his HSI and Nav 2 on the RMI and the FO has Nav 2 on his HSI and Nav 1 on the RMI.
On an approach which has a VOR radial as a transistion to the IF I set up the track bar for the approach well back and finish tracking to the IF using the RMI.
