I have dabbled with the world of "superlight" inner tubes and I would say no. Puncture resistance comes from your tyre. If something pierces through that, the thickness of your inner tube is going to do diddly squat.
Pinch flats could be another story, but if you're getting those you need to pump your tyres more and stop riding into curbs.
