I doubt it. The shock of 8" guns didn't prevent the Navy from planning to put the 8" Mark 71 on multiple classes of missile ship, nor did it prevent the Bostons from still using their fore 8" guns as Terrier cruisers.At the end of the day the blast pressure from an 8" gun is a couple orders of magnitude less than a 16" gun, and so far more practical to harden against.
