Yes. Any DTP program, InDesign, Vellum, Sigil, PageEdit, Calibre (and Editor) are publish/formatting/conversion/tweaking tools. Not tools to author content from scratch.

And ultimately any of the specialist Word Processors aimed at authors/novelists have dubious advantages over learning how to use Word or LO Writer, filing system, backups, versioning and maybe a spreadsheet.
I also used to use Notepad++ for tabbed multiple text files on Windows and then WINE for a while, but I use KATE now which is essentially the same thing, with a session of tabs/documents for each project. I used to use simple Jota on android for notes, but mostly now export docx or txt from Kobo Sage Advanced Notebook.

A DTP program, InDesign, Vellum, Sigil, PageEdit, Calibre (and Editor) etc are production tools, not writer / writing tools. Regard the odt or docx as the master document and content changes to it. Only formatting on the downstream tools.
