Sort of: I don’t see the point in the :+1: reaction, to me it means the same as :heart:. To be honest, I think the only additional reactions that have any use are :grin: and :thank_you:. They are both clear and useful reactions. Personally I would also find :100: very useful, because to me it’s a more emphatic version of :heart:. But @ace tried it and then decided it wasn’t differentiated enough.

In that original discussion the issue of :+1: and :heart: being too similar was also raised (not just by me), and Adam was going to monitor the use of them. Given the many more important things he has to do I don’t know if he ever did any analysis on this, but as the reactions were working without issue (until now?) I suspect there was no need.
