Yes - TV Headend has good support for SAT>IP tuners. You really need a PVR backend (like TV Headend) between Kodi and your SAT>IP tuner for full functionality, there isn't much to be gained by writing a PVR client to directly access SAT>IP tuners.
LibreElec builds usually include the ability to install a TV Headend service on the same box running LibreElec, but running it separately (some NASs can run TV Headend, or you can install it in a Docker container on unRAID etc.) can make sense too. The great advantage of SAT>IP (and other networked tuners) is that your TV Headend box doesn't need to have driver support for specific tuner hardware nor does it have to be located near your LNB/Antenna connections
