No. Although the last two terms (asymmetry and pairing) represent components that go beyond a pure classical model, the formula does not take in account shell effects. So for nuclei away from stability, you need models that consider shell effects / form isomers etc.

For completeness, one should maybe add that the formula also doesn't work well for nuclei with roughly A
See the attached link for a quick comparison between fitted data and experimental results.
