After consulting with our certs lab and studying the code I think SHAKE should not be a problem for now. All of the _gcry_digest_spec_shakeXXX seem to neither have an mdlen nor a read() function. pk_sign and pk_verify seem to both call md_read() which should fail because of the missing read function, kdf checks _gcry_md_get_algo_dlen() which should also disallow SHAKE.
