I don't think so ...

Ocean waves, sound waves, through water/air, pretty much, and just
vibrate matter in place. They don't really use movement of matter
though matter as locamotion, i.e. no "real" matter gets transported,
they simply affect more matter, by "bumping it", which in turn affects
more matter, etc. Or, simply matter vibrating ... energy vibrating it.

Ions are like bullets, they do use movement as their means of
transporting themselves, and they don't "remain in place."

Ether fills space, the space between the atoms of air, and all other
matter (and, most likely, even fills the space within an atom!) ... it
simply can be made to "vibrate", like water vibrating in place and
creating waves which transverse the pond ...

The ether/wave model is the only model which can, and in quite simple
terms and design, account for waves transversing non-empty space (a
vacuum containing only ether.)

All other models which have been constructed require elaborate
explanations and examples which are only imaginary in existence (no
direct physical examples can be had/seen.)

Someone should be able to make quite a comfortable monetary living
keeping Occams' Razor honed sharp!
