In theory, yes. It makes the track longer, so it could in theory make something large not fit. In practice, there really are some readers which skip on audio when they see the blanks. As Joerg which ones, but other people have agreed that it does happen.
I have noted that even with it off my recent burners don't mind running out of data, so in most cases it won't hurt. Burning off NFS I see 7-10 underruns typically.
