Not in my opinion...

The drill motor WAS actually designed to take side loads (or at least the transmission was). There is a pretty wide bearing inside the drill transmission. I wouldn't go crazy with huge side loads but I have and will probably again design mechanisms that put pretty hefty side loads on that drill output shaft.
