Probably not, but ultimately I think depends on your chain line. I had a 9 speed cassette with a Sugino 3 ring in front. I moved the outer ring the center position, put a chain guard on the outer position, and left off the front derailer. Riding in the middle and large end of the cassette gears was never a problem. Shifting itself was never a problem. However, if I was in the smallest 1 or 2 cogs the chain would have a tendency to pop-off the front ring and trap between the chain ring and the chain guard. It wasn't shifting that caused the problem, it was bumps/jarring that made slack that allowed the pull of the extreme chain line to derail the chain.
