Yes!
... So is there any reason not to use F-RAM?

As discussed some months back, almost instantaneous startup and
absence of the ongoing need for Store are obvious benefits.
Persistent memory is the last ingredient in Wirth's vision of
escape from the old hegemony of the filesystem. Read or edit a
text in persistent memory with no "file" involved; aside from
legacy data access of course.
That's how a book works(*). You pick up a book, open it and read.
No need to wait for "boot up". When finished with the current
reading, just close the book with no need for Store. A computer
should be the same with the additional capabilities of editing
and calculating.
