Yes.
You can get entirely hosed if you spend too little resources on military, but contrariwise being the front-runner isn't a winning strategy.
I consider it a simpler Prisoner's Dilemma: when any player starts expending effort on military, everyone has to, but generally everyone would prefer to spend their resources on things that actually advance their civilization. Which is pretty much how military works in the real world too.
