Not at all.
Few fan service chapters can't recover 12 years of drought and bad writing.
If not for outside world chapters Egghead is one of the worst arcs post timeskip.
Everything worst in one place: SHs being morons, running around, fake tension and stakes, 3290823982398 new characters no one cares about and underwhelming reveals ( Big Bonney the traitor and etc ).

I think if One Piece is gonna get better, now‘s the time it should happen.
Wano was pretty good at first in my opinion, until it got dragged out a lot and then it started being a matter of “When will it end?” as opposed to “I wish it would last a bit longer!” - That’s not the final impression you wanna leave on your readers.
There’s a lot of things that could’ve been done better during that arc, and I wish Oda considered those other aspects of his story. The Gear 5 reveal made it memorable, but not as memorable as it should’ve been.
For example, there was practically no reaction to Luffy’s 3 BILLION beri bounty. We got Shanks looking at his picture and that was pretty much it.
Ryokugyu’s reveal felt undercooked too, like as if he wasn’t supposed to be there but ended up being there anyway at the last minute. It was weird.
