Nah. The theory was never a particularly good one.
Life expands to fill its container (which, in this case, is the amount of resources available). It's inevitable that unless the actual population growth is controlled, a reduced population would eventually re-expand and cause exactly the same problem.
If Thanos wanted to actually succeed in his plan, he needed to snap to cause half of all pregnancies to fail. Forever. Or something along those lines. A one-time catastrophe is not going to be a permanent solution.
Or, since he had the ability to do literally anything, create a source of energy for all living things that does not require consumable resources, and therefore prevents any resource strangulation.
It was a stupid intervention, and in my opinion a bit of Hollywood programming, nature has been designed to he self balancing, and the only one with enough power and knowledge to do miracles is God. Anyone else playing God always seems to have unintended consequences.

But hey, at least the fight scenes were cool.

I mean, Thanos is referred to as "the Mad Titan."
