I would give it a go. I have an apple tree that, ahem, needs pruning. It is shading the end of my pea/bean bed most of the afternoon...and shading me in my chair so it stays. : )
I've been putting my tomatillos in the pea bed for a few years now...just let them ramble and they do well at both ends, full sun and part shade...well i suppose the beans shade a bit but not much. When they were rambling in the tomato bed they did get quite a bit of shade and did super.
