No. AIUI, the reason we abandoned electrolysis was because it meant that
a huge percentage of add-ons would have to be rewritten to work in the
new model. We could accept this as a one-time cost, but looking further
into the future, if Servo is a viable project and we decide to ship it
as Firefox we'd have to take that add-on compatibility hit again. Once
we can probably survive. Twice is too much to ask.
