Actually, I think not...

Just because you know how common practice harmony works doesn't mean you
have to use/apply the same principles in the music you create. But, IMO, it
will certainly not be detrimental.

I'll go further and say that between two persons with equal amounts of
creativity, equipment, technical proficiencies, etc., the one that possess
that kind of musical knowledge *will* create better music (even if it is not
[consciously] used in the music he/she creates).
