Yes, absolutely. You can argue that as 'it's because she won', or that it's because we ended up benefiting from it, and yes, neither of those are wrong.

But the main evidence I put forward on this one is that Emet-Selch comes back from the literal dead and says that her plan worked and his wouldn't have. If you want an unbiased, in-universe testimony as to the relative strengths of both plans, that's the best you'll find: that the guy pushing the other plan, when liberated from the shackles of his own life and granted effective omniscience on specifically this subject, directly says that hers was better, even if he's still mad about it.

I keep being told that Emet-Selch always told the truth. So presumably his words have a lot of weight, and in his final moments, he put them on her side.

EDIT: ...Ironically, that does provide an answer for the topic title. We did join Emet, it's just that we weren't the one crossing the floor.
