Will it still work out, even if it doesn't taste as good?

They probably won't bake evenly, or even rise for that matter.
==================================
Less sugar and fat makes a bread-like muffin with a more coarse interior crumb than a cake-like muffin.
Sugar tenderizes by competing for moisture, thus retarding protein hydration and gluten development, and then by elevating the coagulation temperature of the structural proteins so that there is more time for the cell walls to stretch and the volume increase before coagulation occurs to define the final volume of the product. http://www.baking911.com/quikbrds/muffins.htm

Sugar carmelizes while cooking. You muffins will not only not taste as good, but will come out not as brown.

You can experiment with adding LESS sugar, but I suggest that you don't leave it out entirely. You can substitute brown sugar which is healthier. If you make muffins (or any quickbread except for cornbread) without sugar, no one will want to eat them.

you can substitute fruit or fruit juice for sugar but leave out a little of the moisture ,like milk or water ,whatever your recipe uses ,because it will be too runny if you don't ,you can also buy good sugar replacements now ,

Your cupcakes will not be complete and will not taste good. The sugar also helps it keep it shape with all the other ingredients. If you wish, you can experiment.

your muffins would come out like very flavorless and would pretty much mess up the whole thing, You'd have flavorless muffins, I don't think people would eat them.
You may try Splenda

They would not be as moist, and not brown much.
