No unless it bothers your knees or head. My knees like my feet to be as close together as possible. If I can, I set my bikes with the left crank just missing the chainstay paint. Back in the old days (1970s) many racer bikes came with left cranks nearly that close.

Now, perhaps we of that age are living in full denial and that our warped bike fit is the blame for society's ills now andthe reason so many of us have shrinks but I will continue on in the bliss of thinking that with happy knees, all is good.
