No!

There is a difference in styling for anons. It’s even visible in my screenshot. There is a .anon at the beginning and the css rule is slightly different

and while the latter works fine on /latest it doesn’t work on /categories when it’s using categories and latest topics.

On my forum (version from 2025-08-05T07:44:00Z) The css looks like this

On your sites the .latest-topic-list-item.visited a.title:not(.badge-notification) selector is no longer there.

Until it’s fixed in core an admin could add something like this to the theme or a component

.latest-topic-list-item.visited a.title:not(.badge-notification) {
    color: var(--title-color--read);
    font-weight: var(--topic-title-font-weight--visited);
}
