The first topsy turvy cake that I made I used ganache for the filling for two tiers and blueberry buttercream for the middle tier. The top and bottom were incredibly solid but the middle tier (with the BC) was a complete mess! I now only make topsy turvy cakes with ganache!
I am new to decorating and have only done one topsy turvey cake but I filled the bottom tier with a choc fudge buttercream and the top a raspberry vanilla buttercream and it was fine. I would think as long as your supports are good I don't know why there would be a problem?
If you're using the illusion technique, you can use pretty much any filling you want since the layers will be level. Only the top layer of each tier is slanted.
If you'll be actually tilting your tiers, then a sturdy, non-slippery filling is in order. And refrigeration, if possible. I agree with cherrycakes that ganache is perfect for this application.

So how do you make the dam?

If you need a dam, you have to taper the tiers before filling them. But, you really don't need a dam with ganache.
