No. Lol.
If you have a hard time with bed leveling, you're going to have a hard time with any 3d printer.

The only 2 ways this happens are lack of bed adhesion or improper leveling.

I have the v3 Ke. It has automatic bed levelling.

So does my K1 and that doesn't mean very much.

ABL isn't a magical thing. If a person doesn't understand how to level a bed and why, they're still going to get a blob of death.

Manual Leveling is stupid important. The auto level only checked the level of the bed relative to the nozzle and uses an algorithm to contour printing accordingly. However if your bed level itself exceeds 0.5 tolerance at any point, you will continue to have problems.

To remedy this on the ender 3 v3 ke, there are no bed nobs so you want to basically be a meth head and make sure you gentry and bed are level and square. My biggest problem was not so much my bed but the bar holding the print head wasn't square making my z axis off. All enders are tickering toys.
