No, because that is what add_theme_page is for.

The add_theme_page function is just a wrapper for add_submenu_page that
automatically puts in the "themes.php" name for the first parameter.

So, if at some future point, the files get a renaming or the menu system
gets a big heavy reorganization, then themes using add_theme_page would not
need any changes to continue working properly.

When high level wrappers exist for this sort of thing, then plugin/theme
code should use them for maximum future compatibility.
