Don’t think it is, as the revolt predates British decisions by a while, and ‘there is now potentially a country which will materially support slave revolts’ changes the economic risks a bit.

Slave revolts were basically constant, and I think it would have been easy for contemporary British to blame the success of the Haitian revolt on the uselessness of the French, not that slavery was doomed because the slaves now had a “win”. Brazil had horrific slave revolts and didn’t abolish slavery until the late 1880s.
