Yes.
Film capacitors used in place of electrolytics will have a (nearly) indefinite life, while electrolytics will only last typically 20 to 30 years.
I, too, generally use film capacitors in place of electrolytics when it is practical to do so. I cut open and restuff 1930s aluminum electrolytic cans as well as copper Mershons and nickel plated Spragues with Solen Fast film caps.
