Not really. Coordination takes resources, doesn't scale and increases the risk of human error. A predefined set of rules making encounters predictable are way better. Like we have done for ships [0] and aircraft [1]. Any time you have to actively communicate with the other party you have not made your intentions clear enough. I.e. a transferring satellite gives way to an operational which gives way to a disabled. (Of course it's more involved than this, including predictable avoidance maneuvers, but that's would be the basic gist of it.)
