Not if there is enough give in the surrounding materials (shock cap and body, o-rings, half cut rubber bladder, etc.) to compensate. Especially if you compress the shock shaft half way to bleed the shock in the first place. My shocks are completely air free (or as best as I could bleed them) and work just dandily

As for pressure, I'm no hydraulics or suspension engineer and it's an extremely complex subject so I am very open to be convinced otherwise
