Question Tankless for Baseboard?

I have seen Tankless Water Heaters for Radiant Floor systems hydro Air systems and domestic hot water, but is it possible to use them for Baseboard Heat? I can't see why not, but when I checked with the Supply House they came up blank.

Has anyone done this?

Here is the background: Oil Burner will need to be replaced soon. I want to get off oil. I'm heating my house with wood and its working fine, even down to 7 degrees outside I am able to keep the house at 71 degrees inside. I only use the oil burner for the domestic hot water now and occasionally if we go away for a few days. So I know I can got to a tankless on demand for the DHW but I would still need something to supplement the Wood Stove when we are away.

The manufacturer usually frowns on rads due to the higher temps. 180 for copper finned or 140 for larger cast . They like the in floor and coils in airhandlers due to lower return water temps. But it does work in a pinch.
