They can, but Huskarls that reach Slingers dispatch them easily. On top of that, since they are cheap but also very quick to train, it's more likely a Goth player will mass more Huskarls than an Inca can mass Slingers. Oh and, the high pierce armor allows only the anti-infantry bonus to take effect.

Escorted with some Kamayuks or other infantry, yes. Massed on their own, not recommended.
