In a way, yes. I actually used create-vite as a jumping off point for this project. You can think of Vite React Boilerplate more so as an extension rather than a replacement or competitor.

I personally had the experience that when using create-vite, or similar tools provided by the developers or maintainers, it felt like the template was geared towards providing a demo of said library/framework rather than being a foundation for use in production with scalability and maintainability in mind. Don't get me wrong the demos are great but I still needed a bit more to get things really going.

I would still have to add/remove dependencies, modify configs, rearrange the the folder/file structure, add additional scripts to the package.json file, etc. I still had to do quite a bit of work before I had something that I felt could be used in production and be strong in all parts of the development process from UI design to testing, from managing complex state to creating complex components. All this while also minimizing overhead and providing a nice developer experience.
