No. Tracking revoked tokens is only necessary if for some reason a server wants to reject a valid token, and that's only required until the token expires.

The use of nonces to avoid replay attacks is also a widely established practice, thus we're not talking about extra infrastructure.

Tracking revoked tokens also doesn't take up any resources as tokens are designed to be short-lived.
