I don't think so.
IP blocking still a very common mitigation approach to DDoS, but it may cause
denial of service to legitimate clients who share the same blocked public IP
address used by the malicious clients. So, NAPT will still benefit DDoS
attackers, at least temporarily (until the IP is unblocked).
