Short answer
Yes, for database-driven sites. NVMe drives read and write far faster than older mechanical or SATA storage, which shows up most when a page makes many small database queries — exactly what WordPress does on every uncached visit.
This is a general web-hosting explanation, not specific to Traxio.
It is not a substitute for caching. Fast storage makes each query quicker; caching avoids running the queries at all, which is a bigger win.
