Yes, generally, you can stock the Borneo suckers with your shrimps.
I can't say about other hillstream loaches, there are many species, so you would need to narrow them down and look up their requirements and behaviours individually.
However, most hillstream loaches originate from habitats where the water is fast flowing. This is their preferred environment, although there are generally no problem housing them in tanks without replicating this. CRS would not appreciate the torrents.
When it comes to feeding, the hillstream loaches may be a little aggressive and territorial. They would have little "fights" (which actually does no serious damage) to get to the food.
Some hobbyists have concerns over this as shrimps are generally too small and will lose out on the feeding. IMHO, this is no big deal as shrimps are scavengers and will find food anytime, anywhere. I would see this is as a personal preference instead.
Read this if you can, understand their behaviour and requirements, then decide for yourself if they are suitable with your shrimps. Normally, for CRS, hobbyists prefer to house them on their own.
