As Jonathan Druart pointed out you just need an "autocreate" set to 1 in the Koha configuration file (apart from the mapping of course).
This is (somewhat sparsely) documented in https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/master/C4/Auth_with_shibboleth.pm
This feature was introduced in https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12026 (Shibboleth auto-provisioning - Create)
We tried it, it works. Another thing is syncing, we're still struggling with that though.
