No we don't. But then again, in the dt there is also the description for
nand/nor partitions and maybe MAC addresses. It's quite painful to keep
these in sync with barebox when there's no association between the
device tree and the barebox devices.
I think the most additional code for is needed to be able to get basic OF
suppport (dump the tree, update bootargs and memory parameters).
Integrating it fully into barebox is only a small step then.

But let's see, as said, I'm in early experimental stage.
