I don't think so.

e.g. fontforge is still red in
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python3.8.html.

That means that a rebuild of stuff using fontforge in the build will
just FTBFS since it will be called with python3.8 and that has no module
for 3.8 (yet).

(Seen in a python-3.8-as-default testbuild for libreoffice some time
ago.)

Rene
