Yes.

Both provide some level of accountability, however with PKI you explicitly
trust a limited (though big) numer of third parties to do their job
properly, and in the case of a screwup, at least everyone involved is nice
enough to leave their name in the certificate chain. The same can't be said
for the hundreds of anonymous hands that handle my snail mail.

But even if PKI were actively on fire at the moment (which it is not),
what's wrong with doing both?
