Not in current configuration but that is not the on the fork or the hub but the user who has not done up the quick release properly. It looks to be in the open position and the wheel might not even be seated in the dropouts all the way.
Here is a good video on QR skewers and maybe a bit in depth and nerdy but will tell you everything.
It would be a very odd and ultra rare thing to find a 110mm spaced non-thru-axle fork. Boost spacing is relatively new or is old DH stuff but this fork is probably designed for a standard 100mm hub.
Now would I want to ride on a aluminum fork, not really if I can avoid it. It is not unsafe but just no real springiness or vibration dampening you would get from say steel or carbon respectively but still perfectly rideable and fine.
