No. Think about it this way does a hand become more or less profitable based on the number of people not in the hand?
Now overall your raise from the button will be lower in full ring because players in front of you will take actions that will prevent you from opening.
But if it's folded to you on the button in full ring the same cards should be as profitable as if the game was only 3 handed and you were first to act on the button. The card bunching effects are minimal, especially over finite hand samples.
