Yes.

Proof (by ttt2 @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
a#(x1) b#(c(x1)) (5)
a#(b(b(x1))) a#(x1) (6)
a#(b(b(x1))) a#(a(x1)) (7)
a#(b(b(x1))) b#(a(a(x1))) (8)
a#(b(b(x1))) b#(b(a(a(x1)))) (9)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 1 component.
