Probably, but this issue is a bit different, as not all debug rendering is affected by this:
Note that the outermost blue edges of the chunk border rendering are still visible behind translucent items, while certain other lines like the yellow grid are not.
These are related but different systems, block selection outlines are managed by BlockOutlineRenderState and rendered via the renderBlockOutline method within LevelRenderer. Most debug rendering uses the Gizmo system, which is separate
