Definitely. If you leave out the predictive aspect, then,
for the phase/frequency case of an GPSDO, the loop
formulation becomes a PI loop (unless I misunderstood
someting). If you take frequency drift into account,
it becomes a PII² loop.

Kalman filters are just a formalism to map a system model into
a control loop that predicts the internal states of the model
and gives a more optimal control using this predictive power.
You can map any PID loop back to a Kalman formalism.
