No. networkd is aimed at configuration file based static network setups. It is supposed to be suitable for early boot (initrd) and for automatic network setup in containers and VMs. It is unlikely to ever include support for wifi. On a desktop or server with a single LAN connection, networkd may be a good choice. On a laptop that dynamically switches between LAN, Wifi, bluetooth-based tethering and networking via pidgeons, you want to use something like NetworkManager. See Tom Gundersen's G+ posts on the topic, he explains the goal and design of networkd in great detail.
