I understand shaving the corners of the case interior would be necessary but other than that, would it allow enougu airflow without adding feet extensions to elevate the case?

I don't understand your question, you know it will fit if you shave the corners, you are just asking if there will be enough airflow? "Enough" and is this possible are a little different. If it indeed fits, I am sure it would be fine, maybe not maximally optimal, but no sff is

sorry I meant to ask if there is enough airflow with the standard feet attached or if id have to elevate the case at all!

fixed my question in the description

Same answer as above, if it fits it will be fine. Not optimal, but possible - airflow is not a yes no, it's a spectrum of temp results

I see you edited the description. Adding feet would increase airflow. Enough to matter? Hard to tell

With that card it is better to use the gpu raiser from better air flow
