No.

Are you by chance plugging into an iPhone charger, a computer, or some other device providing less wattage than the charger brick that's shipped with the iPad? If the device provides enough wattage to charge the battery, but fewer watts than a booting iPad requires, you can get stuck in a boot loop like this.

I've seen this happen a couple of times with iPads, and a whole bunch of times with Android tablets (even some of the Google branded ones).

No. I was using an 18W USB-C brick with a USB-C to lightning cable. Same rig I use to charge my iPhone X.
