I see no issues working with piezoresistors at high
frequencies, e.g. there is nothing inherent in a
diffused silicon piezoresistor that would inhibit
performance at frequencies that ULSI CMOS devices
operate.
You will of course need to monitor your RC constants
and parasitics and design a mask layout and circuit
with good noise immunity.
