Nope.
I try and avoid rotational tyres, but my car currently has them fitted by a previous owner. Spare is non-rotational (bought recently used on eBay).
But if I had one I'd use a rotational tyre on the wrong side and get it changed in direction by a tyre shop ASAP. See above:

Personally I don't bother too much about the spare matching in any respect as long as it has reasonable tread; I don't expect it to be used much if at all.

If I did fit the spare I'd get a "proper" matching tyre back on ASAP and drive appropriately meanwhile.
