Yes, screen sharing wakes it up, as does sending WoL from a suitable app.
Any of these approaches would be fine if it were just me using the system, but each separate step in the way of just pressing a button and having music makes it substantially more difficult/annoying for anyone of a less technical bent... Two steps (turn on the amp and wait for it to start up, then press play in Roon) is just about acceptable. Having to use something apparently unrelated to music in between would be a step too far, I'm afraid.
