No, not really. The administration becomes "interesting", especially if the slaves are replicated.
One thing to be aware of is the "laggard shard" issue. Essentially, your aggregated response is limited by the slowest shard to respond. As you have more and more shards, the odds that at least one of them will have an anomalously long response time increases, and your average response time starts to increase. This is only really a question when you start getting to a pretty large number of machines...
