Can we use Xstate at backend/server side for state management of an entity

Example: Suppose to build a product like Jira where Issue entity can be moved in various status.

Sample Jira Issue flow

is it feasible and efficient to achieve something like following with Xstate
Deploying Xstate Machine with Node/exrpess.js backed API that creates Issue (Suppose issue in created state) in its initial state and init the Xstate machine and then an API for giving various next Events possible (move to in progress from created state) and another API to initiate that event to make transition to next state( like moving to in progress from qa).

Please guide further if anyone done something like this or any other apporach?
