No, only in master (i.e. Emacs 27), see

Only in Emacs 28, because 26 will still have old-style backquotes only.

My patch conditionally enables new-style backquotes; there's no way to
re-enable old-style backquotes once they generate errors. The assumption is
that everyone should migrate to new-style once they get the errors, and not
re-enable old-style.
