I have a cylinder head all broke down. Camshaft is out and so is the rocker arm assembly. Would it be OK to spray a can of engine degreaser all over it and hit it with a pressure washer? Then use air compressor to dry? I have heard of people doing it but I wanna make sure before I attempt that.

yah I've done it to a bare engine block, it's a good cheaper alternative to "hot tanking".

So its ok to hit the valves and the area were the valve springs are?

yah for sure lol they're metal not plastic, hot tanking is a lot more "intense", so some pressurized water won't hurt just dry it off well and maybe poor some oil on it I'm just picky so I always do.
