Beware of tin whiskers!
Lead-free generally translates to "pure tin". If you do not want to
risk tin whisker growth then you should solder dip or re-tin the leads
of such devices with eutectic solder.

No.
If you're used to SMDs with lead plating, though, you'll notice that
it takes a very small fraction of a second longer for the solder to
flow onto lead-free parts.
