No
The castling rules are strange.

If you ask people who know nothing about the rules of FRC to suggest
generalization for castling in shuffle chess then
I guess that most of them will suggest
a different generalization of castling.

I believe that most of the people will suggest that
the king always move 2 squares to the right side or
to the left side when the rook and the king change
their order.
