Nope, not at all.

I put /var in Extended, LVM and, if you can believe it, even
LDM (yes, Windows "dynamic disk" disk label format ;-).

I only avoid putting root (/) in anything but a primary
partition for recoverability.  Even if I use a separate /boot
(I rarely do -- I keep my root do only a few GBs max), I
still like it outside of any compound disk label.
