Good question. The answer is yes.

Having a directive commented out means the default value for it is used.
There is a default helper built by --enable-ssl-crtd that gets used
unless you specify otherwise.

Currently Squid is not detecting that the helper is unused, so checks
for its existence and attempts to run some. Some other helpers also have
this problem.

The workaround is to also explicitly configure:
 sslcrtd_children 0
