Hard to see why it wouldn't.

My sense is Potenza groupset will not be compatible with Centaur rear derailleur. Reason is...Potenza derailleur architecture emulates the latest redesigned Chorus thru SR where Campy redesigned the pull ratio from previous 11s.
What you could do is compare a picture of a Potenza RD versus the Centaur RD you have in hand. If appearance is quite different, then it won't work well because cable pull of Potenza shifters will not index a Centaur rear derailleur properly which is based upon previous design level of 11s shared by Athena for example.
IMO.

Yup, Graeme is the man when it comes to Campy and he could confirm.
But...derailleur architecture is quite different between new 11s Centaur and 11s Potenza, so quite sure pull ratios aren't compatible. See comparison pic below I put together.
I can’t see the huge different between the 2, but you’re probably correct. It obviously doesn’t take much to change the cable pull ratio. It would be silly if they didn’t work together.
Another question regarding Potenza then.... is the HO stuff compatible with the non HO stuff?
Again, I’m unable to find confirmation on this. From what I understand the HO rear mech makes it easier to remove disc wheels with thru axle?

i would like to know as well.
If it is old 11 speed cable pull you could use (nice glossy) athena ergopowers
If it is latest gen 11 speed cable pull this could be a cheap alternative for for potenza and up .
Graeme your advice would be most welcome

Do you have first hand experience?
it would seem a bit odd that campagnolo would design a new cable pull just for centaur 11.
In the past they have recycled the internals of their shifters for lower end groupsets
My bet would be that the internals would be = potenza + other lever blade. (or athena internals + other lever blade)
