No. The EXTINTx function (these inputs are configurable for multiple
purposes) that is only available on FTS (Frequency & Sync) products is
using these for feeding in a reference frequency.

You must not have been looking very hard, the uBlox web pages are one of
the easier ones to navigate when it comes to these things.  Anyway, I've
posted a link to the document containing that list some time ago
already, here it is again:

https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/u-blox8-M8_ReceiverDescrProtSpec_%28UBX-13003221%29.pdf

Timestamping is actually supported on all firmware versions and only the
M8F variant has FTS firmware.  Due to the way the messaging works you
only get two measurements per second, for the falling and rising edge of
the same input.

Achim.
