No, not at all. It's tucked up in nicely. There's a part of the hitch framework that's the lowest point on mine, and it has drug a time or two. Not often and it hasn't been a big problem though. With the 32ft models that thing is hanging very far back so it's only natural.
While it's not the most easily accessible thing, the tire is fairly easy to get to back there and has absolutely been not in the way...except maybe weight. (a jack is more or less needed to access the thing nicely, but that's not what I mean by weight issues...)
I do think sometimes though a good compromise might be to get rid of the rim...only to save that weight hanging back there behind the nearly overloaded drive axle. It's good to have a spare rim in case it gets damaged with the flat, but that might have been an ok risk to take....
