No, the phone’s built in charger protects it from overheating and overcharging. However, you should be charging overnight, every night, with Optimized Battery Charging enabled. And if you do there is no added benefit to fast charging (No downside, either, if you only have one charger. Charging overnight will help your battery last longer, because for most of the night the external power source will run the phone rather than the battery, thus reducing the number of discharge/charge cycles.
