No, not by a some orders of magnitude. AGL reported carbon emissions of 42Mtpa in 2019-20. According to [1], the combined carbon emissions attributed to all the datacenters in the US is 31.5Mtpa, so 75% of AGL's emissions.
So even if Atlassian tools around the world used as much processing power as all the datacenters in the US (of course in reality it's orders of magnitude less), the carbon saving of a 20% reduction would only be 6.3Mtpa, or 15% of AGL's emissions.
