Yes. I full time code on a corne and notice only improvements to ergonomics. Once you memorize the layers it's superior because your layers can place brackets without reaching. All those special characters we use all the time are on -- or close to -- the home row.
But there are no such improvements due to this. On a bigger keyboard you can do all the same layers, but also use those extra keys for something less frequent - it still is easier to remember a physically dedicated key position for some action than via layering
