Yes, it should work just fine. Use either the latest kernel.zip or if you follow the manual route make sure to patch the provided boot.img with latest magisk canary.
However there seem to be quite a few users running into issues with verity on this forum and device. Not only when flashing kernels, but also in the guide threads. If you´re a bit unsure I´d only flash it if you have a PC nearby to flash a factory image to recovery and have a backup of your data ready.
If it´s stuck for 5 minutes something else is wrong and it´s not due to the factors I mentioned earlier. I haven´t run into this issue at all, so something else might be screwed up if that happens regularly.
Just tried 6 consecutive reboots and everything is working just fine.
