No. iSH uses Alpine for reasons documented at the bottom of the "Install & Activate Alternate Filesystems " wiki page:

Most filesystems don't work yet because /bin/login or /sbin/init encounters a fatal error. In addition, some filesystems will never work in iSH because they don't have /sbin/init. These types of filesystems need to be patched before they can work in iSH.

I think you can, just you need a special version of iSH and know how to patch the Root File System of the distribution you want to run so it meets iSH's requirement then I think you can run it.
