Is ‘shape-inside’ supposed to contain the line-boxes of block box children too (non-BFCs)? If so, then I think you probably don’t need ‘shape-inside:display’, because you could just have this in the UA style sheet of a round display:

:root {
 border-radius:50%;
 shape-inside: shape-box;
}

…and then the root element would shape all the inline flow of its descendants into its ellipse or circle shape.
