Nope. My bike currently uses them.

Now, a wheelset I bought for my road bike 25 years ago, came with a thick strip permanently heat-bonded together at the overlapping end, looked like plastic, but when I had a couple flats I saw it was a thick fiberglass package banding strips, which had spit at the nipples and exposed the fiberglass, causing the flats; Got rid of that and put on Velox.
