    No the sensitivity of radiation based smoke alarms tends to cause false positives which in turn causes people to ignore them making them less effective. Optical smoke detectors are overall the newer and better technology.

    That being said radiation based smoke detection is still a cool concept. There might be a few areas where they perform better still, though probably not.
