Probably, but his story isn't done yet, and I wouldn't put it past him to try to pitch until he's 45 in pursuit of enough wins to put any doubts to bed.

Maybe, he needs to improve his counting stats

Oof. Really good question. But my gut says no.

If he really does pitch four or five more years, hits 3,000 K or something crazy? Then probably. But that seems wildly unlikely.

And that's kinda too bad, because his 2017-20 is up there with 97-03 Pedro or 62-65 Koufax or 68-70 Bob Gibson. But the volume just isn't there because of the injuries.

A notable portion of the volume that missing is a bizarre lack of wins during that period because of lack of support from the Mets offense and bullpen.

Pitcher wins are grossly over-rated, of course, but they stand as mileposts and the convenient shorthand they provide still tells voter whether to open the book and dig deeper.
