Nup. 150 yards & closer, including putting will DRASTICALLY improve a score, regardless of an errant tee shot. Ask any professional.
but this advice applies to people who can already hit a drive in play. If you are miss hitting or shanking 1/2 your drives OB this advice doesn’t apply. Pros don’t have that problem. I’m talking about new golfers

ETA: I’m not talking about people trying to “score better”. I’m talking about people who are trying not to make double par every hole

What does this mean?

Either way, true beginners, just need to beat balls on the range. With all clubs. Once you get good enough to be out on a course and actually wanting to improve your score, you absolutely do that around the green.

Drivers used to be the hardest club in the bag to hit, but driver technology has gotten so advanced it's essentially the easiest club to hit now. If you spend most of your practice time hitting a driver, you're doing it wrong.

A lot of people would benefit from removing driver from their bag all together.
