No it isn't. The curves used in all real systems are based on prime fields. The results against binary fields don't seem to generalise to curves deployed in the wild.

Binary fields are weaker than prime fields, but "I think" there are always shortcuts. Finding these shortcuts are hard and some good topics for future research in cryptography.

Hypothetical roadmap for next 10 years: Binary FF DLP --> Prime FF DLP --> EC in prime FF --> RSA? --> ElGamal? --> ...
