Short answer: Yes in principle, but in practice no one seems to have published a clean, usable value of the “sufficiently large” threshold for the best-known exponents for π; extracting it from the proofs is possible but leads to astronomically large numbers, making it of no practical use. The only widely available completely explicit inequality that holds for all q is still Mahler’s old result (with a very poor exponent).

What to do in practice
Summary: The modern exponents (8.0161, 7.6063…) do come from effective constructions, so explicit “sufficiently large” thresholds exist in principle, but they are enormous and, as far as I am aware, have not been written down in the literature. For fully explicit statements, Mahler’s old unrestricted inequality remains the go-to reference; for any realistic q one should instead rely on continued fractions. If you really need a concrete threshold from Hata or Salikhov, it can be extracted by a careful bookkeeping of their constants, but expect numbers so large that they won’t be of practical value.
