No, it isn't. That pane in particular does not update properly. On my system
(10.14.6), it still lists a game app that I deleted months ago and continues
to list Find Any File (now at 2.2.1) and Google Earth Pro (now at 7.3.3) as
32-bit apps. The File menu's Refresh Information command doesn't fix this. 

In addition, Go64 is much easier to use, because it displays the 32-bit items
in one pane, whereas System Information splits them among several panes and
only allows sorting of 64-bit items by column in Applications and Preference
Panes. 

System Information is very useful, but for the specific task of finding 32-bit
software on your system, Go64 is better.
