No.

Hm, I hadn't thought about that.  But when you insert a tabular with C-c
RET, then the format is read from the minibuffer anyway and there the
syntax of | in tex/latex mode doesn't matter.

And even in the latex buffer you can still enter single | either with
C-q or just | and deleting the second.

But I wouldn't mind changing the syntax from paired delimiter to
punctuation if that's considered better.  It just has to be different
from word or symbol syntax.
