No, because just after you have dumped the ways and before you have dumped the nodes, someone might delete a way and all its nodes; you have already dumped the way but will not dump the nodes -> inconsistency. The only way to do this right is to work from the history tables like the diffs do, but that currently is too expensive in terms of database load. The problem is not that big because, as has been pointed out already, you can always "upgrade" a planet file to be consistent by applying the matching daily diff.
