I recall events from previous editions where Shar worshipers were working with devils. As long as they're not also working with demons there's no real issue from the devils' perspective.
Of course, the real issue is that since both are going to have end goals that don't align, they'll probably be planning to stab each other in the back once they feel that working together no longer benefits them.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
On the one hand you've got Devils, whose whole deal is twisting bargains to reap power in one form or another, and on the other hand you've got an Evil goddess whose Domains include Trickery. Both sides should very much be anticipating the other attempting to stick the knife in once they've got what they want from the bargain or see an opportunity to take full control of the operation.
Which means it comes down to either which one of them underestimates the other first, or the heroes arrive and do to their plans what rampant infidelity does to royal succession.
I am doing my homebrew and having played BG3 recently, I wanted to bring Shar into the picture.
Campaign is currently in Waterdeep under Laeral Silverhand, so Shar could be easily meld in.
However, overall arc has been about devils and rise of machineries (guns, prosthetic arms and now possibly Steel Watcher).
How can I unite these forces work together? Would Shar work with devil to sabotage and dethrone :Laeral Silverhand?

"Do you feel lucky, punk?"
The perfect quote for how they'd conflict and cooperate all at once. They both know the knife is coming; they just think it'll be their knife.
thank you all for kind input. I can now work the plot (evil laughter)
