Yes..to a degree; but your lever feel will likely change.
I’ve tried this on both rim and hydro brakes.
Magura hose has a bigger internal bore.
I’ve found better success with BH59 as opposed to BH90, which has a smaller bore and is a pressure based system.
At least according to my measurements and confirmation from Shimano tech.Bore/stroke of the MC, as well as design. Magura are radial and most of modern Shimano are axial. How this ties in with hose dimensions, someone smarter could tell you.
Frankly though, it’s all a bit academic and I say fuck it. Just got for it. I did, I’m
Not dead yet.
Shit, people used to bleed their HS33’s with water back in the day.
Just plunge the whole thing in the bath and repeat the next day.

This is terrific, thank you very much. I'm amazed at how hard it has been to find this info given the popularity of Shigura setups.
The front brake is ready to get slapped on with the OEM hose, so I'll have (at least) one very reliable brake.
I'm only having to re-do the rear as it's going on a tandem. That's another reason to use Shimano hose as I won't have to stump up daft cash for metres of official Magura stuff.
I'll report back with results.
Ta kindly!

UPDATE 19/03 – no, you absolutely cannot
I've tried to get a firm answer for this online but have had no luck so far.
Can I use Shimano hose with Magura brakes (specifically MT11 rim brakes)?
I can have all the Shimano hose I want from work and begrudge buying new hose for a single job.
My crude measurements with crap callipers suggest the ID is pretty damn close.
I have a full suite of spare Magura barbs, olives etc.
