Yes.

It depends on the quality of antialiasing needed, but usually AA is used
with Adaptive Sampling as it speeds things up and doesn't attempt tp
antialias everything, just edges.

We almost always use Adaptive Smapling. Usually 8 is a good level for
high level stuff, but depending on the scene, you could get by with a
level between 16 and 32 pretty easily
