Not unless they've decided to play 6bb deep cash.
As a tournament player, it's useful for you to know about, but certainly don't start play shove/fold above 10bb, and probably not before 5 or 6
Edit: In reply to the original question.
Heads up, you are guaranteed to at least break even before rake using the nash push/fold chart if your opponent is also playing push/fold. You are
not guaranteed to break even in the SB alone playing push/fold, and you can't play push/fold in the BB if your opponent doesn't want to.
Edit 2:
Also, "lose money" is relative term. If your opponent folds 100% to minraises and you decide to open 60% of your hands you are losing money even though your expectation is above 0. Making a small profit when a huge one is available IS losing money.
