Probably not. Ideally you'd implement this endpoint to invalidate the code after a few failures, so a timing attack would be impossible to carry out. But it's a good idea to use one anyway, in case it turns out that you're wrong, or that other code is also broken somehow. It costs almost nothing to do so.
