In that sense yes, but as it has been stated before; if Android
user-space concentrates on getting suspend blockers right, then the
timers in user-space will not be aligned correctly, and runtime PM
wouldn't work that great. Moreover, opportunistic suspend takes the
device out of idle. So, as runtime PM gets better, there's a point
where opportunistic suspend makes the situation worst.

So they are _mostly_ orthogonal, but not completely, at least for the
analysis of suspend blockers' usefulness.
