Why not?

Also, you could avoid having to install a second WP instance by
checking the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] in wp-config.php.

Something like this:

    if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])
	|| !strcmp($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'myvirtualsite.example.com')
    ) {
	define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://mysharedsite.example.com/~me');
	define('WP_HOME', WP_SITEURL);
    }
