I don't think so.
I can see why using a weapon in zero-G will be a problem, Newton's third law... But that really should apply to anything projecting any kind of mass (cryo, flame, plasma) as well as any weapon requiring movement (melee).
But what negative consequences do you think of aboard a starship that an energy weapon won't have? I mean a plasma weapon would do just as much damage to the bulkhead as a bullet would.
