Pretty much, but as evidenced by republicans you can apparently Frankenstein bills together to make them revenue-neutral and just ram through with reconciliation, especially considering that amendments to strike out maybe be considered even if they are not revenue neutral. So you can add some cuts to make it revenue neutral, and then strike the cuts out.

So you make some bill lets say CIR (which would increase revenues), with tax cuts for lower/middle class (which would decrease revenues), and make sure that the money estimate adds up very close to zero and pass both items as a single package by simple majority.

Filibuster is de facto dead and I hope Schumer and Pelosi are taking notes here for 2020. Imagine coupling a yuge tax hikes for millionaires together with universal healthcare? Republicans would have a very hard time gutting that, it'd become like social security.
