With any magnetic based system, you will have an attraction between the magnets and a ferrous sharpening plate. There is no way around shielding magnetism effectively.
If it's all you have or the only stones you want, you CAN sharpen with ferrous plates on a magnetic system, just be careful and take it nice and slow.
Yes, I do recommend non-ferrous sharpening stones with magnetic based systems, but it's only a recommendation to make sharpening easier and more effective.
You will also achieve much better final finished edges with diamond resin or similar type stones, and your knife edges will not be as fatigued as with diamond plates. Low to medium grit Diamond plates are very effective, and remove metal fast but that also means they are also more harsh on a fine edge.
