Sure you can! There are some issues to consider, however.
1) Mirrors are not 100% reflective. Some of the photons will actually return from the surface of the mirror. But the signal strength is so small that it probably will not matter. You might see it in the histogram if you use the VL53L8CH and have a look.
2) a mirror will 'flip' the image. It's not a big problem but think about it.
3) As the light goes out in a 45 degree pyramid, the light from the far side of the mirror will travel farther than the near side. So you have an interesting geometry problem. But if you draw it out, you will figure out the algo to compensate.
Give it a try, I'm sure you can get it to work.
