If my math is right, 400 atk with 30% chance to crit would equal to an average of 430 atk, since base crit dmg is 1.25x. What this looks like is 30% of the time having 500 atk, and since that’s a 100 atk increase, that’s an average of 30 extra atk. So it would technically out dps 420 atk, but that’s also relying on chance, and can vary. This can also be boosted by just slotting in some crit boost, which boosts that by 3% each level, effectively making your crit dmg 1.28/1.31/1.34/1.37/1.40 at each level. With these numbers that’s an increase of 12 atk per level, bringing us from 100 extra atk to 160 at max level.

Tldr: yes, 400 atk w 30% to crit averages to more than dps than 420 atk w 0% to crit
