The answer is no, but unlike git, crdts make a choice for you, and all nodes get convergent consistency. The problem heretofore with crdts is that those choices have not been sane. I think there are a recent crop of crdts that are "95% sane" and honestly that's probably good enough. There is an argument that optimal human choices will never be reconciliable with commutativity, which I totally buy, but I think there is also an argument for "let not the perfect be the enemy of the awesome". And having made a choice, even if it's not optimal, is a much firmer ground to build upon than blocking on leaving a merge conflict undecided.
