Yes — Apple explicitly warned that making a table view use Liquid Glass would “muddy the hierarchy,” so the answer is yes, it can if used in the wrong place.
The guidance from Meet Liquid Glass is to reserve Liquid Glass for the navigation layer that floats above content, and to avoid using it everywhere so the UI stays clear.
