I guess since they weren't caught there's nothing to report about it so we probably wouldn't know... so I assume yes. Also Whonix works in perfect combination with QubesOS, so at that level of opsec is fucking hella hard to caught someone, IMO.
The only problem with Qubes + Whonix combination is well it's not newbie friendly at all.
It shouldn't be, using Qubes+Whonix is for people who have the need for a super secure system, from starters you have a hardware barrier that would prevent a lot of people from using it. I mean, you can use it just because yes but I don't think there's much benefit.
Yeah it depends on your threat model but even if you have the right hardware, it would still be pretty hard if you are a newbie who say, has recently switched to Linux.
Furthermore, Linux knowledge will only help you to an extent with Qubes. You should ideally also be familiar with how Xen works and how it's configured.
