I don't think so.
FWIW, I always set
#+OPTIONS: ^:{}
in my files. That allows me to use a_b for the majority of my use
cases, but still allows {subscripts} in the rare cases when I need them.
I'm not sure how useful it would be but maybe there should be a setting
to accommodate the inverse case: mostly subscripts a_b but allow literal
underscores using some additional markup.
