I personally have used the phrase “fare well” before. For instance:
The new feather toy we got for our kitten isn’t faring very well.
The phrase usually refers to living creatures, as it has a connotation of referring to wellbeing. On the other hand, “work well” is used for objects, like computers, and not for living beings.
