The version that's part of the suite of JB 1.4.0 is a build based closely on AX 1.4.5 (although released before 1.4.5 came out). AX 1.4.6 fixes the target JDK bytecode version which JB's build doesn't have the problem.
So all that to say, no. Generally, you never want the AndroidX build. They break JS and native targets too much.
