No. From Monterey to Ventura, they changed checkboxes to switches, which they explicitly recommend against in their Human Interface Guidelines.

Having said, I don't think 100% consistency is a useful goal anyway. The Ventura design is usable, and the guideline is useful. Gap between the two can be operational "debt" (like technical debt) which is not theoretically ideal, but practically useful to keep making/shipping progress.
