If you don't need any native plugins other than those provided by Expo Go, then yes.

If you do need other libraries, or add native code yourself, the package system becomes a nightmare. It is NPM packages on top of Cocoapods on top of a XCode/Swift/Objective-C compile process. Only slightly better on Android.

Want to make a change to a library? Good luck getting linking working on your local setup.

Cordova had exactly the same issues. I'm not sure if Ionic Capacitor is better, but this is one area where Flutter is miles ahead.
