I think it is more a question of will we make it that far. If so then it should be possible but I don’t expect it would be the norm and likely single way. Communication back home would be almost pointless due to the distance.
Perhaps it will be like the Rimworld lore. FTL is never achieved, civilisations are unable to remain stable once communication takes more than a few years or decades between planets as culture drifts over time. This doesn’t prevent intergalactic travel but it does make it a one way colonisation mission.
