The answer is no, at least so far. There's been a few big quantitative studies (CircleCI, a few others I can't remember) which show this - more code, more branches, more PRs, but actually less going to production. It's not even like a 10% increase on average or something, it's less! And yet anecdotally people say it gives you 2x, 3x, 10x speedups.
