Not necessarily. Tablets are actually pretty good for modeling especially doing anything complex like organic/surface modeling (I model my designs in XSI with tablet way faster than using 3ds Max). The pen and tablet allows you to pick up vertices easily than a regular mouse. You'd just have to customize your CAD settings to accommodate the tablet settings and function.
