I would say so.
You may want to break it down into subdirs by initial character, 2nd
character, and then the file or something.
That is how

You could also use some better balanced subdivision.
For instance, if you have some numerical Id nb, use the three last
digits as the file name,

I have also seen that if clusters on the hard drive go bad that affect
the folder. All images in that folder are now inaccessible.

I often use the itemID to break down the folders, since these seldom change.
Since it is the computer and not humans that do the sorting, the rules
can be simple for the computer, even though weird for people.
The last 3 digits of the zero padded id has worked well for me.
