Yes, but either

  Because geojson can only use WGS84, it is a deficient format, and
  unsuitable for anyhthing where accuracy at the 2m level matters.

or

  Because geojson in practice is widely observed to have datum tags, one
  can and should take the view that there is an error in the geojson
  format spscification and treat it as geojson+ that allows specifying
  crs.

I personally hold the latter view.

However, if one is dealing with tools that don't honor crs in geojson,
agreed that one has to hold the first view.



An example follows (hand redacted, may be messed up) of a geojson
produced from qgis/gdal, in ITRF2014 as a way to get a good transfrom
from NAD83 and be sensible in the web world.  i didn't do any
contortions to get this; just

  ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -t_srs "EPSG:7912" -s_srs "EPSG:6319" %TRAILS/BAR/invasive-points.geojson bar.gpkg invasive-points
