Yes, it is.
State machine is developed code-only, parallel to Workflow, so has a fixed API.
There is no contact between Staet manchine ans Workflow teams.

Workflow is coded Object-Oriented as of version 7.x-2.x, leading to a better coding API the before. Configuration is mostly done using the Workflow UI submodule, and exporting the results.

But this workflow module allows for additional types of workflows not just an editorial one.

I see in that other issue there is some discussion about the future of the workflow module now that workflows module is in core.

It would be great if this module would evolve into an add-on for workflows in core to allow for different workflows.

Also this module allows for fields to be added to entities and different states defined by the user through modules like custom_pub.

For now I have disabled core workflows module to use this workflow module.

In the future, this module could build upon the state_machine api. But that would be the D9 version. And only if it results in better and shorter code.
