Chances are no.

Short answer, definitely a no
Long answer: Vanguard is a kernel level anti-cheat system that only supports bare metal hardware. Shadow is essentially a VM in the cloud, and Vanguard do not play nice with VMs. This is also why Valorant was not playable on Shadow as well on Nvidia's GeForceNow. I am actually very against Vanguard and Riot's way of doing this because you do not need that deep level access in a system to fight some hackers and cheaters that can't git gud, also this shows that Riot is lazy at moderating their games. All you need is a good team of moderators to catch the hackers and cheaters.
Only way that ** potentially** can re-enable both LoL and even Valorant to work on cloud services like Shadow is do what this guy did in this video, but this will have to be done on the data center maintenance side, whoever works there and maintaining the cloud VMs.

@calm zinc Games with Issues Identified on Shadow
Unfortunately, Valorant is not compatible with Shadow at this time. This is due to the nature of the game's "Vanguard" anti-cheat and how it is installed. Since Riot uses a custom anti-cheat mechanism, this makes it nearly impossible to run on virtual machines, including cloud platforms.
If you installed Valorant or Vanguard will need to uninstall these applications or reset your Shadow.
