Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Yes, we can.
As a engine controlling boundaries, TriaxialStressController is fortunately insensitive to the packing's particle Shape.

Except for the measure of TriaxialStressController.porosity [*] which will be biaised because particlesVolume assumes Sphere shape (that's the only place where Sphere assumption appears, search for "Sphere" in [**])
If porosity is of interest to you, it will be easier to recompute it yourself, from your own solid volume (your Polyhedra) and using TriaxialStressController.boxVolume if you wish.
