No, because replication is based on LSNs, not transactions.
With the proposed change: an LSN can be replicated to all sync replicas
as soon as it's durable on the primary; and an LSN can be replicated to
all async replicas as soon as it's durable on the primary *and* the
sync rep quorum is satisfied.
