As a first pass, yes. It reliably catches agreement and some article errors. It is weak on collocation, on register and on the meaning-level problems that matter most, and it sometimes suggests changes that are wrong in an academic context.
This comes up on Academic English for International Students, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
