No, but it is a texlive option, so we depend on it. At this moment, it
seems unused ,
see texmf-dist/doc/web2c/web2c.pdf:
5.6 IPC and TEX
(If anyone uses this feature and needs documentation, write tex-k at tug.org.)
This functionality is available only if the ‘--enable-ipc’ option was
specified to
configure during installation of Web2c (see Chapter 2 [Installation], page
2).
If you define IPC_DEBUG before compilation (e.g., with ‘make
XCFLAGS=-DIPC_DEBUG’),
TEX will print messages to standard error about its socket operations. This
may be helpful
if you are, well, debugging.

Of course, you can compile your own version of luatex , enable ipc and test
if it works for you.
