Yes. Our A320 CEO / NEOs & A321 NEOs have a tailstrike proection for take off / Lansing.
This is not published in the FCOMs as Airbus decided it to be so. I’m not sure if it’s a customer option or standard fit but our 319s don’t have it.
On the 320 CEO, for example, as pitch increases beyond 9 degrees the nose will be forced downwards regardless of pilot input. I’ve seen it in action and it took the peak pitch from just under 10 back down to 5 while the side stick was maintained aft (unbeknown to me!).
