Only at a huge cost and losing so many colonies.
When it takes an entire fleet to destroy one covenant warship at the cost of 2/3 then your clearly outgunned and outmatched.
If they've improved the firing rate of the MAC guns and shielding systems then sure.
Otherwise the Infinity is just a big target asking to get sliced and diced by covenant warships.
Even at REACH they had to sacrifice ships in order to protect the MAC guns and those had a pretty fast fire rate to begin with. The Covenant simply adapted by slipspacing right above it and blowing it to pieces. Even if they didn't make a ground assault they would've eventually broke through the guns.
All I'm saying is the UNSC ships by this point should at least have some shielding systems.
