No once you get the setup correct you can then send as metrics from as many hosts as you like.

Keep in mind You need to run

`metricbeat setup -e`

Once each time you change a configuration, version etc.. etc.. Once whether you are running 1 metricbeat or 100s or 1000s and you want to run setup once **before** you start the metricbeat with the new configuration and start shipping metrics.
