Up to a point – if you’re a bodybuilder about to step on stage at 4 per cent body fat, your endocrine system is all kinds of messed up. The sweet spot for men seems to be around 10-15 per cent.
Given that my own body fat levels are less then 10%, do you have links that suggests that 10% is better then anything below?
Can’t find good sources, it mostly seems to be anecdotal based on the ranges that strength athletes choose to stay in. My guess is that if you went too low, you’d know about it (stage-ready bodybuilders are in a world of pain). Also, kudos for maintaining a single digit body fat percentage—impressive!

My body-weight is far from that of a stage-ready bodybuilder, so my biology is not the same.
