No. FWIW, I have had, and continue to have, Mac notebooks over the years. In almost all cases, I typically leave them plugged into power, and only remove them from power when traveling. I have never had any issues doing so.

The Apple power adapters are "smart." Then "know" when to charge, and when to stop charging once the battery is fully charged.
