No.
Of all the major world religions, Buddhism probably has the least baggage. That doesn't make it pro intellectualism. Hell, the Catholic church officially acknowledges evolution and engages in astronomy. Still, I don't think too many people think of the Vatican as pro-intellectualism, lol.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Most people confuse clever philosophical concepts with intellectualism.

Worse, many people confuse overwrought obscurantism with intellectualism.
