Maybe.
It will depend on how complex your configuration is.
I don't remember if Gentoo requires root's password when entering single
user mode or not. (I've not tested it in a long time.)
Invoking Bash (or any shell) as init may not work as desired if your
system configuration is complex and needs fancier things (modules /
network resources / etc) during normal init.
My 20 years worth of experience is to have a root password set so that
you can fix this more directly and more reliably.
Ideally, as soon as you learn that sudo is not working as desired, use
su -- using root's password -- and revert the recent sudo change.
