A thousand times YES!
A closely related group would be the MCS group. MCS (short for "Man Conquers Space") types share the ideal of "as little 'wave as possible" (in their spacecraft), but they don't restrict themselves to history. They ask themselves, "What would Space Powers build with hardtech today if they cared enough about space?". Most bend a little (or a lot) on the "no 'wave" rule in their fixed installations, since they depend on AIs and nonsapient supercomputers to substitute for Height-of-Space Race government R&D departments. (SHR folk don't have this issue because they focus on proven designs of the past.)
