It's a cool round, but doesn't really excite me. I like .223 when I want a light bullet, and I like 6.5 Grendel when I want to do stuff when I hit stuff. 6mm ARC is a 1000 yard round in small frame AR15, which is cool. But I don't do 1000 yard target shooting. Grendel goes pretty far too, and hits hard when it gets there, amd really hard when it's atactual typical encounter distances. I just prefer the broader bullet face and mass when I hit stuff I guess. When I shoot 1000 yards, in my own world, rarely is that something done with a patrol weight small frame AR, and I prefer to run a heavier 6.5 CM which hits a lot harder at 1000 yards. And is a more stable platform, since 1000 yards is how far I'm shooting.
Not to bash 6mmARC, but personally I try to minimize caliber selection (and associated logistics). So for me, the 6.5 Family (Grendel and CM) and 5.56 covers pretty much everything of interest and the spectrum of my own usages.
Also, the .260 Rem / 6.8SPC etc observations have made me gunshy about adopting the latest headline release. And I learned a long time ago "military adopted" headlines are rarely as true as implied.
So to answer your question - for me: no.
