The conversion back to TIFF will not recover data that was lost during the compression. Nor can it recover the 8bits of data that were discarded from the 16bit sensor reading.
It'll work, it just wont give you the best quality

I don't have RAW in my pretty simple camera, but I've compared finest JPG to TIFF that I've shot in a row and these shots have been identical. Well, to my eye. So I shoot JPG and batch convert (IrfanView!!!) to TIFF immediately and work in TIFF later on. Saves a lot of processing/writing time (this small thing is so uglily slow!) and of course memory.
