It is; however, I suspect HMRC will challenge this if it hasn't been invoked - particularly in a long contract.
For many years, colleagues with long-term contracts with one client would swap around every few months for a week or so and get paid through each others company. This helped both with IR35 and with avoiding the 24-month rule.
