libcamera is supported by buildroot, and as you've seen also by yocto. I
haven't followed the Yocto support, so I don't know who keeps it
updated, but I know buildroot received a patch to update to a quite
recent libcamera release in the last few days.

I would say 'yes', but you will likely want to be able to specify the
latest version of libcamera to build, and there may be more active
development ongoing and required for your platform, so you probably
don't want to 'wait' for someone to update the Yocto release. (Or you
could post the updates to the yocto project too).

(Wanting to use the latest libcamera applies to buildroot too of course)
