Not if you do it the same way as you are supposed to in every landing: Once the wheels are on the ground apply brakes and check for braking action and directional control. Only apply reverse thrust when you get both. Depending on aircraft type and runway conditions, reverse thrust creates between 10 and 30% of the braking force of the wheel brakes and should therefore easily be controllable even in an asymmetric condition.
