No. He clearly wasn't just talking about circumcision and works based on ceremonial law. Acts 15 was specifically about only having the Gentiles obey enough of the ceremonial law to not offend the Jews around them who still clung to the law, in order to ease relations between them, as well as rebuke the Gentiles for their failings in the moral laws regarding sexual immorality. In Acts 16:3, Paul even circumcises Timothy in order to placate the Jews in that area, for the ultimate long term goal of Timothy's salvation. Acts, and other epistles of the New Testament have a clear theme of Jews still clinging on to the Mosaic Law, and going through a transition period where they have to unlearn old habits, and even end up sliding back into the Mosaic Law, for which Paul sternly rebukes them. The Council in Jerusalem was never meant to be a stepping stone for the Gentiles to become Gentiles who practice Mosaic Law, as Messianic Jews try to rationalize.

Within Galatians 5:2-3, Paul emphasizes that circumcision will cause Christ to cease being of any value, and then goes on to say that whoever goes through with circumcision is obligated to follow the whole law: portraying following the whole law in a negative light. The rest of chapter 5 is literally about the spiritual liberty from the law that comes through Christ.

Christ fulfilled the ceremonial requirements of the Mosaic Law. That was literally the entire point of his existence on Earth. The New Testament is about moving beyond the Mosaic Law, not reinforcing Gentiles having to LARP as Bronze Age and Second Temple Israelites. Especially considering many of the more questionable practices of the Pharisees/Saducees/etc. were the fruit of Second Temple Judaism, as well as Mosaic legalism taken to it's logical conclusion (not to mention some practices that were clearly the product of intermingling Hellenism.)

Everything points to the Second Temple as something to leave behind. So much so that God literally sanctioned it's destruction in 70 AD. I think you should take the hint.
