Absolutely. Creativity requires constraints even if they are self-chosen constraints, and necessity is the mother of invention.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to come from the most recent Star Wars trilogy is that fans and an entire industry can get behind the idea of choosing retro creative constraints.

The problem with that system is that you can get gatekeeped at the bottom by lack of luck or perverse agents but it granted some kind of filter.
