No, tokenism is pretty much universally recognized as a bad thing. It's a basically throwing a bone to minority groups so they can't complain about not being represented, as opposed to making a real effort to develop characters that represent that group. Regardless of what anyone thinks about Kelly Sue DeConnick's run on CAPTAIN MARVEL, it would be disingenuous to claim that Marvel isn't putting in the work with regards to Carol.
The only reason someone would use the term token to refer to a character would be to diminish that character, or because they don't really understand what it means.
