No, I’m like 95% sure that Tim and Connor teamed up in the 90’s/ early 00’s. I think it happened in the robin book, I remember Tim driving while talking to Connor.
But they are likely teaming up now because Connor is friends with Damian now after their mortal kombat tournament arc.

Words to live by.
Here's a fun bit the list of characters for the Book of DC Pride has been getting posted online (it's included in the link below)
What's interesting is that while almost all characters are definitively LGBT there's one included who's been pretty on the edge and this is the first book to actually be real confirmation, or the writer thought they were officially already, you decide!

She's an Indian shapeshifter who's normally just a woman but also takes male or even nonhuman forms since they act in Bollywood films/to escape danger.
One bit the story also brought up is that she technically doesn't know if she was born female or male (or other) but otherwise lives/presents as a woman.
It's certainly easy to read as her being nonbinary, genderfluid or even arguably agender but given the nature of her powers what if anything she might count as was always vague.
Clearly the writer decided that's not just heavy subtext but I'm not so sure. Figure I'd mention it though.
I also found a Twitter thread about the DC Book of Pride: https://twitter.com/ssupernovah/stat...95796743421953
There are some images from the book: table of contents, plus the info pages of Tim Drake, Ghost-Maker, Jackson Hyde, The Cheetah, Artemis, Nubia, Hippolyta, Bia, Connor Hawke, Tasmanian Devil, GL Alan Scott, Jon Kent, and Jay Nakamura.

Meanwhile, live action Steph on the tv show Gotham Knights is getting into a romance with Harper Row.
So both Tim and Steph are queer in their recent live action cross media appearances.
