Maybe.

To Neyo, Ballas didn't continue Margulis' work. He subverted it: instead of keeping the children at peace, he weaponized them. This result did save at least several of them, for a time, as they were no longer viewed as a potential danger but as a last, and effective countermeasure in the war against the Sentients.

We don't know Ballas's intentions, as well. He did what he did to save the Orokin Empire, but we know the Orokin were not graceful stewards of their people, nor completely competent. It remains to be seen whether Ballas is for the Tenno or against them.
