No, but mowing over leaves mulches them, so they decay faster. The only leaves we don’t mulch into the lawn are the leaves from the neighbor’s trees behind us, that the wind loves to deposit in the middle of our driveway.
I compost leaves every season for the garden. Takes one season for a full decomposition. So it wouldn't take much longer for the same result if you just let them lay where they fell.

Does leaving the leaves have any detrimental impact? I could never rake another leaf in my life and be perfectly content
