There's no way to speculate on whether your transformer would suffice without knowing the application it would be used for, including the specifications of the transformer to be sure it will supply adequate current. And, as I replied to one of your similar posts from twelve years ago, Paul McGowan of PS Audio believes that bigger is better, with regard to current (link below)

I'd suggest that you find a schematic or two, then start researching low voltage drop regulators if you feel your transformer voltage is going to be close for your application.

Good luck.
