From an electrical engineering perspecive (i develop many RC jet electronic systems myself) - the answer is a definite YES. your Futaba receiver is not better nor is its BOM more expensive than this board.
All this board does is simple protocol conversion from SBUS to PWM - every 1$ arduino can do that these days. this board does not handle power (besides to its own processor) so there really nothing to it.

PS - who's flying 40,000$ jets?
