bugs are transferable as long as they are in the same room and you have the possibility of flies...
As to your question the answer is most definately yes. I've done this very mix and situation for about 5 years now... no problem. The leopards outgrew the enclosure and moved on but the stars are still there.
As long as the tortoises are healthy to begin with and you are not dealing with the WC stars commonly available.

Both my Leonardo and RingoStar are captive bred and healthy. Winter is coming and it's a piece of mind that they can share the same heated (yet separated tort table). I will make sure that even if water spills each section can handle it on its own. Of coarse- cleanliness is the key- AMEN
PS Hope you Egyptort is well too
