Warning: I am not a lawyer In short: technically CC0 may be used, but it would be confusing as ODBL would still apply anyway.
See https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility#CC0 "CC0 licenced material is in general compatible, however the license only extends to material the licensor actually has rights in and specifically avoids making a statement on the status of any third party material included." So you could license this as CC0, but it does not mean that other limitations are not applying (limited extraction of just some shapes from OpenStreetMap may be doable without triggering ODBL - see https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Substantial_-_Guideline but such project would likely quickly pass it). In the same way as Wikidata is CC0 but not importable into OpenStreetMap as they include location data systematically copied from various sources, for example Google Maps.
