The short answer: no. The long answer remains situated around what design goals an investor or user has for a blockchain-based money network.
In some sense, Chia's consensus mechanism merely obfuscates the cost of resources by moving costs from operational expenses to capital costs. Creating hard drives also costs resources that are already reflected in the mark-up in HDD/SSD cards. It also remains to be tested over time.
Networks like Chia or Ethereum 2.0 may have novel consensus methods but have yet to get proven to the same degree necessary for peer-to-peer money. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to run block-after-block, day-after-day, year-after-year.
