p(g(g(x))) q(g(f(x))) (2)
q(f(f(x))) p(f(g(x))) (3)
q(g(g(x))) p(g(f(x))) (4)

Yes.

Proof (by NaTT @ termCOMP 2023)

1 Dependency Pair Transformation

The following set of initial dependency pairs has been identified.
q#(f(f(x))) p#(f(g(x))) (5)
p#(f(f(x))) q#(f(g(x))) (6)
p#(g(g(x))) q#(g(f(x))) (7)
q#(g(g(x))) p#(g(f(x))) (8)

1.1 Dependency Graph Processor

The dependency pairs are split into 0 components.
