Yes, but you don't need to set up Webpack manually. The Angular CLI automatically uses Webpack when generating your bundle via `ng build`. Although SystemJS was originally the default, the Angular team switched to Webpack rather quickly, and that has been the default for several years now. Prior to Angular 6, you could use `ng eject` to have a custom Webpack config, but this has been depreciated. If you are using Angular 11 with yarn, you also have the option to use Webpack 5 by adding `"resolutions": {"webpack": "^5.0.0"}` to your package.json.
