Only in the general sense of pushing forward progress with LinuxCNC on
the BeagleBone in general.

Specifically, my Shapeoko V2 is still in the box <gasp> and I've been
working on getting the hardware setup so in can be understood and
implemented without cross-referencing 5 different ways of referring to
the GPIO pins and editing custom device-tree overlays.

I do know of a couple folks who have run Shapeoko machines with the
BeagleBone, so it's mostly just getting a configuration setup for your
specific hardware, and deciding how you want to handle the gantry setup
(ignore it and run two motors in parallel, use gantrykins, or hack HAL
to drive two motors off one motion axis).
