No.
I have mulching mower and never pick up clippings and have never had thatch. Frank
if you have a healthy supply of active worms in your soil they will do a very good job of keeping any thatch down including the mulch from lawn mowing.

Doesn't matter if you have worms or not. Thatch is a different problem than clippings not decomposing. It's a myth that a thatch problem is caused by leaving the clippings.
worms will eat thatch AND help dispose of clippings
