Absolutely, there was so much potential for those two in the last Jedi, pity RJ thought otherwise. Apparently he started writing the script with them off on an adventure together but then replaced Poe with Rose when he thought there was no potential for tension between them, he thought that they got along “too” well.
See that made sense to me though, in terms of what he was trying to accomplish specifically with their arcs. TROS doesn’t seem to be attempting much at all.
