Uh, not quite. Dynamic equilibrium (Eg: during chemical reactions) means something very specific & constrained, and doesn’t include any steady influx/outflux of energy, material, etc. On top of that, one can have not just flows, but also active regulation mechanisms which maintain homeostasis, possibly with periodic temporal behavior (which can never happen in “equilibrium”). So even though “equilibrium” and “dynamic” as English words might seem somewhat descriptive of homeostasis, I think the physics concept of “dynamic equilibrium” is distinct enough to be worth not conflating. Eg: entropy can be constant in a system in dynamical equilibrium, but (to our best understanding) homeostasis always generates entropy.
