Not convincingly.

Firstly, static imports are markedly different to top-level require due to module scoping: e.g. tree-shaking isn't stable with most "statically-analysed" top-level requires due to potential side-effects.

Secondly, handwaving dynamic imports as the ES Modules equivalent to non-top-level require doesn't pass the smell test. Dynamic imports are a deliberately separate syntax and mechanism to static imports, whereas require isn't differentiated. They are also, notably, async.
