Not necessarily - Matrix E2EE supports this by allowing your new device to get all the encrypted message history, and allowing you to send the decryption keys to the new device from a backup or old device directly.

this is how e2ee is wrongly purported to be only OTR communication that is one time only. there is no reason if you have the keys why you cant restore them somewhere else also. you are responsible for maintaining the keys, not the software.
