Yes. Rutabaga and Shallot have a documented companion-planting benefit. Virginia Cooperative Extension lists shallot as a companion for the cabbage-family crop rutabaga.
This is a practical yes, not a magic guarantee. Keep the normal spacing for Rutabaga and Shallot, watch airflow and watering, and treat the companion note as one useful planning signal alongside sunlight, soil, and harvest timing.

Spacing tip: Use the normal spacing for the larger crop, then tuck the smaller crop where it will still get light and water.
