No... doing the Sun Village arc and then filler would be WAY more awkward. SV flows into Tartarus arc - Minerva returning to her guild to find Kyouka, Silver's intro, Walrod telling Natsu about END. Imo, a filler after GMG is MUCH more plausible because SV only starts when Walrod sends a request, which could happen at any time.
