Unless this corrugated metal product says it’s for shower wall panels, I wouldn’t do it.
Corrugated metal panels are not rust-proof. Their edges are not fully galvanized, as they were cut at the factory- and when it’s cut or drilled through for fasteners, it will rust horribly & stain the shower basin.
If you want a Steam Punk or rustic look, I would use 2-3 shades of gray Rustoleum plastic laminate or plastic bathtub coating system & hand paint a faux finish.
An easy beginner’s finish is to use a faux sponge paint roller cover & then go back and hand stipple it hand wipe stripes or seams- whatever you envision. It could look like galvanized steel.
To make it more Steam Punk I would buy stainless steel bolts & cut the heads off and epoxy them at the faux seams. Aluminum would corrode eventually, but could be clear coated.

Investigate it more. I've seen those turn into disasters.
Really do your research on this one if it's for indoor use. It might not be the best route.
Lots of people have done it actually and it can be VERY cool and an inexpensive solution to a "new" shower. Its not for everyone though of course as it is definitely a specific look. Here's a video on how one DIYer did his! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xz6jlhkT9U
