Yes.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary, 30s-averages don't show
anything exceeding 5% interface bandwidth on the path between unbound &
the forward servers. That still means that there could be very short
bursts causing packets to be dropped, however, monitoring latency, it
does not look likely.
