Ish. Before enterprise, yes, after, not so much. Even in the context of the temporal prime interference was insisted to maintain the way that things would play out, otherwise. So..a culture using prime or temporal prime would always have a compelling reason to let hitler happen. Hitler happening is terrible...theres no dispute there, but the idea of prime and temporal prime is that things like that have to happen for a people to be ready for first contact. The idea might not be entirely wrong. We probably should be familiar with the whole range of earthly human experience before we use those/that to resolve (by reference) inter planetary (or inter galactic, or inter temporal) disputes.
The whole point of it is that is a stricture created and maintained by a different species with different circumstances (vulcans) who used it and then selected us as a member of the space community on account of it. Plenty of bad shit happened to us, bad shit that the vulcans wouldn't have lifted a finger to stop. At the end of that and because of that, we become credible partners in galactic nation building. Especially relevant, since the romulans( desc of vulc) went a different way with that, and have a head start...and the klingons have a wholly different set of value making metrics.
