Yes, but with a few caveats. Last time I used the ‘Resist Fingerprinting’ option, it made window resizing funky and some sites flat out rendered wrong.
It needs some polish and some user controls.
They could change the viewport size that gets reported without changing the actual window size. It would take some effort to do it the best way, but seems worth it. It’s among many improvements to anti-fingerprinting that could be made, but it seems like some time ago they gave up on the idea of making it effective, convenient, and on by default.
That’s the tradeoff you have to make. Your window size is a good fingerprint, so spoofing the size makes sense. But websites that need to window size for legitimate reasons are breaking.

How else could it be? The window size directly identifies you AND determines the page layout.
