No. Protecting the article would stop uninvolved people who have nothing to do with the edit war from editing. I don't want ot be barred from editng an article just because someone else is an argumentative idiot.
1. It takes at least two people to revert war. 2. You can do your work on non-mainspace forks (a good alternative to revert warring). 3. It's just one article. There are still plenty of other pages you can edit, and, unlike a block, page protection is friendly and non- personal - definitely not a sanction against you. 4. If your change is uncontroversial, there is {{editprotected}}.
