Yes. Anyone who want the protection from the SIM swap attack should remove phone 2FA from their accounts, and should consider accounts that do not support such configuration as vulnerable.
Whether you consider the SIM swap attack a threat worth protecting from would depend on many factors, even though the threat itself is very real, and almost all phone numbers are vulnerable to the attack. I have yet to learn any phone service provider that is not vulnerable to this attack. I've heard people speculating that Google Fi might be one such provider, but I don't know if Fi customer service actually is not vulnerable.
