Apologies for the late response, I have been rather preoccupied over the last few days. Anyways, I think that Shadow Release is fairly pointless. As David said, the Nara clan can control shadows already, so if you want it bad enough, make a Nara member. Moreover, from a technical perspective, a shadow is a dark area cast on some surface by the obstruction of light by an object. Thus, it is not really feasible to "create" shadows by combining chakra natures because the former has no physical substance. My Mashieisō, a shadow kekkei genkai, merely controls shadows of as opposed to making them. So, unless you have a reasonable alternative, the answer is no.
