I haven't tried it but I see no reason for media queries themselves not working.

The trouble is that much of Nabble's HTML code lacks the necessary functional IDs and classes used on one type of page only. Most IDs and classes have visual names and are used all over the place on many different pages. This means any CSS code is likely to have unwanted side effects elsewhere.

Nabble also lacks the usually advised line:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
which helps pages work better on small screens.

Without this line you would need many more media queries thank you might at first think to cope with the range of screen sizes that are found on different phones and tablets.

In short, I think Nabble has gone as far as it can with its small screen Add-ons without embarking on a major rebuild of all their code.
