I believe so, as my Load Cycle Count still increments fairly quickly
when let.  Though as long as you have options ATA_CAM
(it appears to be in GENERIC, so you should, I suppose) you
can also use variations on:
/sbin/camcontrol cmd ada0 -a EF 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
to shut off naps  such as well.
