I believe so. He views layering as the best way to scale Bitcoin: higher-level systems that eventually settle to the base layer. He says that users are making "a local and time-limited security compromise" when using such systems, but this is better than making "a system-wide and permanent compromise". Although not mentioned in the book, this would include Lightning and similar systems.
