If the so called "Improvisation" and chords are all prearranged then, yes, nothing clashes.
But, if you've played a lot of Jazz, you'll soon realize that these so called ii-V-I "improvisations" are really a player's pet licks over a ii-V-I, a lot of the time this includes the V chord's 5th note. It's this that then clashes if you use a Tritone sub.
In my experience, it's best to play the chords as written for a Jazz standard, unless a chord's subs are discussed before hand with the players or if the players all have very, very good Jazz ears.

4 x Am7 barre at 5th fret 5x5555
2 x Bm7b5 7x775x
2 x E7 076750
Repeat these above 3 times then
2 x Am7 5x5555
2 x Dm7 x57565
2 x Am7 5x5555
2 x E7#9#5 076788
Try a Latin feel like Samba or Bossa Nova. Try playing the bass separately with your thumb and rest of chord with a claw action to bounce the rhythm between them.

From that you can get into Coltrane type changes using major third movements:
(example using down a major third. DMaj to BbMaj to GbMaj back to DMaj )
Typical ii V I:
| Em7 | A7 | DMaj7 | DMaj7 |
Coltrane type changes using major third movement.
| DMaj7 F7 | BbMaj7 Db7 | GbMaj7 A7 | DMaj7 |
Here's a simplistic explanation of how to use Coltrane type changes:
First write the major chords in major third downward movement.
| DMaj | BbMaj | GbMaj | DMaj |
Then add each major's dominate chord to create tension/movement that resolves to each major chord.
(Example F7 to BbMaj)
| DMaj7 F7 | BbMaj7 Db7 | GbMaj7 A7 | DMaj7 |
