No.
WiFi smears itself over a wide spectrum and all other wifis appear as 'in band noise' to a greater or lesser extent.
Since data packets are I think cryptographically signed and checksummed, the chances of a given packet getting corrupted and needing a retransmit goes up as the number of adjacent stations does.
Similar to mobile cells.
