No. I've done literally 1000's of kernel builds and have never, ever had a problem with config's output that would have been solved by doing a config -r. I did used to use config -r to solve these problems, but found that make depend followed by make or worst case make clean (in the case of .o file corruption) followed by a make will fix these problems. I've not used config -r except maybe once or twice in the last two years. Both times it was because the previous config ran out of disk space and created too many zero length files which a new config didn't clean up exactly right.
