Can you use with panoramic roof window in 2018 Ford Edge?

It sure can!
The Rhino Rack Roof Rack which uses 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK432 is confirmed to fit your 2018 Ford Edge with the Panoramic Sun Roof. However it is not recommend to open the sunroof with the roof rack installed to avoid any possible damage to the sunroof due to clearance issues. Typically people do not use the sun roof anyways due to the noise that you will notice with the sun roof open due to the crossbars.
This system will give you a 165lb weight rating, but you will want to check the owner's manual of your Edge to find the roofs rating and use the lower rating between the roof rack and the roof.
I also recommend adding the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA-LEC4 which replaces the plastic lock and end caps with new end caps that use metal locks to keep your track mounted accessories secure.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
