Not sure how your remote site arrangement, is the Layer 2 / Layer 3 / VPN ?

You can deploy AP at branch to use central WLC, make sure you have high availability between DC and Branch, if you lost connection, user can not use Wireless make sure you understand the Caveats here.

here simple design guide, i do have some deployment like yours, as long as connectivity taken take all works as expected

As Long as WLC IP reachable to AP and AP able to register with WLC is most important, follow the guidelines and test and advise.
