No.  21.3 is a bugfix release.

I am using it currently, but it is still the developer version with
its own sets of bugs.  None that would make Emacs less stable than
typical run-of-the-mill editors, but decidedly less than customary
for Emacs.  I manage an occasional core dump when doing heavy duty
work.

Not even the developer version renders its main text area fonts via
GTK unless I am mistaken, so I guess the answer is no.  The title bar,
menu bar and the menus themselves, however, _do_ appear antialiased to
my eye.
