Campag shifters pull a different amount of cable to Shimano etc so ideally you should use Campag. But some people have made it work ok with other shifters. One trick is to use a floating upper pulley wheel - its sidewards movement might be enough to accommodate the slight misalignment.

Yes, I’ve definitely seen people use Shimano shifters and claim it works.
It’s not guaranteed though and won’t be perfect, and you might have to spend some time tweaking it. If you set up around the middle sprockets to begin with any misalignment will be minimal at the extremes.
Incidentally another trick to alter cable pull is to clamp the cable the other side of the bolt, this alters the leverage a bit.
It’s all trial and error. Some don’t seem to have any issues, others have failed to get it to work satisfactory. Good luck!
