Not if you use the VOR as an instrument to help you with magnetic
headings, relying on the compass or DH for that data, rather than as a
command instrument.

You're going to sit there spinning the needle all the time to figure out what
radial you are on. Then you're going to look at the compass to figure out
if you are left or right of the course and turn that way, and then continually
recenter the needle to see what change that made?

No sane person flies the VOR that way. The needle isn't the command instrument,
but it tells you which side of the course you are, you then apply a currention to
the heading (turn towards the needle) and fly it using your primary heading
reference.
