Researchers Create Ultrastretchable Wires Using Liquid Metal

One would think so.

But you could design for that, simply by using the smallest diameter as your critical dimension when selecting wire size.

Of course it also allows for some new circuit elements, those that can measure stretch via voltage drop, which might be very useful in robotics or prosthetics.
In short it might not be as much of a detriment as it is an advantage.
