Superbe brakes with ceramic pads?

I have a line on a nice wheelset, but it has Mavic ceramic rims, which apparently work best with ceramic brake pads. I am planning to use Superbe brakes on this build, but I’m not sure there are compatible shoes that take ceramic pads. Can anyone confirm whether I can get these Superbes to work with ceramic pads? I don’t want to pay for the wheels and start myself down a compatibility rabbit hole.

Here are the brakes I want to use:

VeloBase.com - Component: SunTour CB-4700, Superbe Pro (long reach)

and here is a potential set of shoes/pads, but not sure if the posts would fit the Superbe calipers:
