No (as of 16th July 2020).

However, you can use this .tex file as a tex source to pass the compiler.

I am not sure if it will be rejected by arXiv later. (I will update later)

17th July update:
It has been rejected by arXiv via email.

As of 16 May2023, a submission with this method passed the compiler but then got put on hold. Upon messaging to arXiv, they stated that a tex wrapper was detected. So, unfortunately, another method is needed to avoid that idiotic requirement to upload latex sources.

As a further comment, I suspect that arXiv is checking on the fonts used in the pdf, to identify the fonts used typically by tex/latex.
