Verify the mounting/bracing of the pipe. If it's solidly held in place, so that the roof jack AKA weather boot will not be flexed or stressed, then yes, metal vent pipe can be a decent mounting point.

If the pipe can be moved, even slightly, a leak can develop between the pipe and boot. In that case, you'd be better off using a tripod with penetrating fasteners.
