No, I regularly squeeze groups of spokes while building up the wheel and do a few hard presses with it against the floor with the axle resting on a block of softwood. There’s always some correction to do afterwards but not much, and my wheels have stayed true for the most part.
I know I’m preaching when I don’t even have the authority of an usher, but this is my experience.
