Potentially, yes. Assuming that you are correctly synchronizing the actions inside each Task as to avoid race conditions (a big assumption), there is no control on the number of threads here. What if your program is already using a bunch of threads for something else, and then you go ahead and spawn off 10 more? You will oversaturate the CPU and end up with virtual threads, thus incurring scheduling overhead. In my opinion when you are doing this type of thing you should almost always use a thread pool to ensure that you aren't creating an unreasonable number of threads.
