No it is not. \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} works fine (but one
doesn't have to load it anymore as is it the default in pdflatex
since a few years).
The problem is with the concrete implementation of utf8 handling in
ucs/utf8x.

Millions of documents use utf8 with pdflatex without problems. I run
95% of my documents with pdflatex. They are all utf8-encode and as
I'm german my texts do contain umlauts and other non-ascii chars.
The only thing that pdflatex can't handle are combining accents.
