Is starting a sentence with a conjunction okay?

Depends. It happens in vernacular all the time but never use a conjunction in academic writing.

Ha, I've seen right through you! Check Mate, anon!

Technically it's a no, but I don't think anyone cares as long as you're doing it sparingly, aside from some academic spheres. I've definitely seen sentences in multiple published books starting with a conjunction.

Starting a sentence with a conjunction is very common in top-tiet fiction writing. It helps achieve good flow.

With respect to the topic: Yes. This is in fact a legitimate function of Conjunction Junction. Not 'mixin up words and makin phrases' merely.
