No, not at all. The egg just in the water bath (in the shell). Also, you can use a metal pot/pan for your sous vide if it is one of those ones you attach to the side of the water bath. When I was saying poach in-shell I really mean just the shell. I also use my sous vide to hard boil eggs since you can get them damn near perfect every time to the exact level of "done" you want.
This is an example recipe but you get the idea. https://anovaculinary.com/blogs/blog/recipe-sous-vide-egg?_pos=2&_sid=5b36fe9c0&_ss=r
