Absolutely. If you have a 5V @ 2A power budget the advice would be to use a Pi which requires 10W or less.Don't forget, we still sell almost all the earlier models, so if you need something with less power consumption, it's still available.
My curiosity is in what can be done with a Pi 5 if you had such a budget; is it possible to take advantage of some of the things a Pi 5 offers which older Pi don't ?
Similar to a Zero 2W requiring 2A replacing a Zero with a 5V @ 1.5A budget if cores are disabled. You won't get more cores, but you get 64-bit operation and wireless. That may make it worthwhile replacement.
It's simply the other side of "If I have this PI then what power supply do I need?" - "If I have this power supply which Pi can I use, to what extent are they usable?"
