No. Not unless devs unionize. More time to make the game doesn't mean less crunch, it'll usually mean more crunch as crunch used to be a month or so before release and is now just the entire time a game is in production. So a longer production just means more crunch.

Crunch is a worker power problem, it's companies taking advantage of the power they have over workers who can't individually refuse.
