Yup. I just found myself having to buffer an ESP32's output with an LS245!! because the old-school LED display I needed to drive required more current on its logic inputs than the ESP could source. An AVR would have driven it just fine.
And before anyone asked why I used a 74LS245 instead of a more appropriate level converter, I had to go with what's in stock these days and this design will have at most 3 units built.
