Really really bad idea plumbing systems for sewage and for wastewater are different in some countries and this could cause a lot of issues not to talk about the fact that the pipes for your shower are most likely way smaller than the pipes for your bathroom making them more likely to get clogged even if you waffle stomp it.

It’s only a problem if you don’t waffle stomp it properly, duh

Well Belgium obviously developed their system for it from the ground up, while the rest of us are stuck with bad design decisions that result in the clogs.

The real issue is that the drain trap is much smaller for a shower than that in a toilet even if the pipes are the same diameter.

The waffle grid is for the exact purpose of stopping things that are too large for the drain trap, so theoretically it should be fine. If it passes the grid, it can pass the trap. However, the drain trap doesn’t clean out entirely every time. If you stomp shit into the drain, then the trap will contain shit until it is cleaned out. It will also smell like shit, which defeats the purpose of having the trap in the first place.

Drain traps are disgusting enough without the addition of shit. Even in best case, it will accumulate hair mixed with shampoo and conditioner. I doubt that mixing it with shit will generate any kind of water savings, because it will require a thorough cleaning more often. Also, the main pipes actually needs a lot of water to drain. If by saving on water you eventually have to call a plumber to blast out the fat-bergs it will require a whole lot of more water.
