It depends on your use case.

If you need something that speaks TLS, then no. NaCl is a different (simpler) protocol that does not have TLS compatibility as a goal.

If you're building a new application then NaCl is probably a good choice. There are some problems you may need to solve yourself, if your application calls for them. For example, NaCl has no notion of a CA hierarchy.

Lack of a CA hierarchy sounds like a problem has just been solved for you
Yeah, it's arguably a plus.
