I think it probably is. The situations I'm thinking about are:
1. axles in technic bricks, which fit your "no friction" model;
2. the light grey low-friction pins, which could also fit the "no friction"
model (with regard rotation);
3. the black friction pins, which can rotate in the final model, but with
significantly more friction than 1 or 2 (ie can resist gravity up to a point).
There are probably other cases too, but I think there'd need to be at least 3
levels of friction (low, medium, high) to cover the friction pins (with low &
high corresponding to your off & on settings).
The next tricky thing to model is rubber bands, then comes chains...
