There is nothing inherently special about redox reactions.
Even some chemists overlook it, but if the system of equations is specified correctly (matrix of coefficients is correct and system of linear equations can be solved) then the chemical reaction can be balanced regardless of it’s “chemical” nature.
After all it’s just about balancing numbers of atoms on the both sides, you don’t even have to really know chemistry if (correct) equation(s) to balance are written.
