No it's not. Singular they has been in the english language for hundreds of years, even Shakespeare used it.

It's not technically incorrect, it just 'feels' like it is because it's uncommon. It's been used as a gender-exempt singular pronoun for well over a century, although the non-binary adoption is relatively new.

They is not a plural pronoun its an ambiguous pronoun that can be used for plurality
