Unlikely. Not all npm packages are even compatible with Bun (tho 98% are).
Bun started off as an alternative runtime to Node (like Deno) but today is an everything-monster. It even has a built-in test-runner.
To be completely honest, if you're dealing with dependency hell in 2026 you might be misusing npm. Or you're trying to update a really old project
