Magura brakes on P5

I have a Cervelo P5 with Magura brakes. Love the bike, dialed fit, etc. So not looking to upgrade. But the Magura RT8 brakes are leaking, unsupported and unserviceable.

I've been given recommendations to swap brakes and levers to TRP mechanical. Problem is that this will make it impossible to cover the front and rear brake calipers with the aero brake covers.

Does anyone have any experience with mixing hydraulic brake levers and brake calipers? I'd like to keep the Magura calipers and replace the levers with the Shimano DI2 hydraulic levers as long as they are compatible. I know they may not be a perfect match, but they do both use mineral oil, so that's a start.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
