X37B is in flight launched Dec 2023 but launched on falcon Heavy (or previously F9 or Atlas a non reuseable rocket) so I don't think it counts as a booster.

Electron has reflown an engine and a tank i.e parts but not yet a full booster.

New Shepard suborbital only

Other spacecraft only partial reuse

WhiteKnight, White Knight Two not rockets and rockets on them are only suborbital
Nothing else indicated in

So I think this should resolve no.
