Well any time the server has to do anything, it consumes resources, but as more stacks are created, it would mean more storage slots when coming within render distance, so yeah, in theory yes, but in practice, any populated inventory slot contributes. Mass storage in general is probably the bigger issue which mass grinding of materials is going to do the same thing. If this case is of concern, there’s a lot more to be concerned about first imo.
