YMMV. Anecdotally probably not. Investing time in filtering the noise is likely a better use of your time.

Below is a pro forma response from namesilo.com when I recently bothered to report an sms scam for a domain that was registered with them. Their ToS explicitly calls out illegal uses, which this was one, but they don't seem to really care enough about it.

ToS:

You represent and warrant that the statements in your application are true and that no Services are being procured for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to the infringement of any intellectual property right, the unauthorized transfer to yourself or any other party of any domain name or Services, or the violation of any laws, rules, or regulations (the"Illegal Uses"). Providing inaccurate information and willful failure to update information within seven (7) days of any change, or failure to respond for over fifteen (15) days to inquiries concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with your registration, failing to immediately update information or engaging in any Illegal Uses will constitute an incurable material breach of this Agreement.

To limit the number of spam landing in your mailbox please follow these instructions:
Check your email account to see if it provides a tool to filter out potential spam or to channel spam into a bulk email folder. You might want to consider these options when you are choosing which Internet Service Provider (ISP) or email service to use.

Limit your exposure. You might decide to use two email addresses one for personal messages and one for shopping, newsletters, chat rooms, coupons and other services. You also might consider using a disposable email address service that forwards messages to your permanent account. If one of the disposable addresses begins to receive spam, you can shut it off without affecting your permanent address.

Also, try not to display your email address in public. That includes on blog posts, in chat rooms, on social networking sites, or in online membership directories. Spammers use the web to harvest email addresses.

Check privacy policies and uncheck boxes. Check the privacy policy before you submit your email address to a website. See if it allows the company to sell your email to others. You might decide not to submit your email address to websites that will not protect it.

When submitting your email address to a website, look for pre-checked boxes that sign you up for email updates from the company and its partners. Some websites allow you to opt out of receiving these mass emails.

Choose a unique email address. Your choice of email addresses may affect the amount of spam you receive. Spammers send out millions of messages to probable name combinations at large ISPs and email services, hoping to find a valid address. Thus, a common name such as jdoe may get more spam than a more unique name like j26d0e34. Of course, there is a downside it is harder to remember an unusual email address.

Hackers and spammers troll the internet looking for computers that are not protected by up to date security software. When they find unprotected computers, they try to install hidden software called malware that allows them to control the computers remotely. Many thousands of these computers linked together make up a botnet, a network used by spammers to send millions of emails at once. Millions of home computers are part of botnets. In fact, most spam is sent this way.

Do not let spammers use your computer. You can help reduce the chances that your computer will become part of a botnet. Use good computer security practices and disconnect from the internet when you are away from your computer. Hackers can not get to your computer when it is not connected to the internet. Be cautious about opening any attachments or downloading files from emails you receive. Do not open an email attachment even if it looks like it is from a friend or coworker, unless you are expecting it or you know what it is. If you send an email with an attached file, include a message explaining what it is.

Download free software only from sites you know and trust. It can be appealing to download free software like games, file sharing programs, and customized toolbars. But remember that free software programs may contain malware.
