I don't think so, especially if you press the seams open. I know that sounds like heresy, but machine stitching is strong enough to hold up to seams being pressed open. When all the seaming was done by hand, seams were folded to one side to strengthen the seam. That isn't necessary today with machine stitching. However, many machine piecers still press to the side because pieces go together more easily that way.
For the type of backing you are describing, I would sew 1/2-inch seams and press them all open so you don't have any big lumps to quilt over later.
