Probably not, pinned tabs are part of preferences that are synced, so connecting to the Sync account and syncing preferences may overwrite settings like the pinned tabs.
Changes made manually on the Firefox Home page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.pinned => websites pinned to a tile
- browser.newtabpage.blocked => websites removed by clicking Dismiss in a tile

You can disable syncing a specific pref by setting its related services.sync.prefs.sync control pref to false.
- about:config => services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.newtabpage.pinned => false
