Yes, but Arch is systemd only, while Debian (thanks Eris!) is not.
Thus, you need cron anyway.
And, you have two choices:
* maintain and test cron job only
* maintain and test both cron and .timer
The former is obviously less work. Thus, the latter makes sense only if
there's a specific optional feature of .timer you want, and you think it's
worth the effort to handle both.
