Possibly, but this would somewhat be countered by the fact that you can’t get a fielding error on a home run. Edit to add more context: Home runs are much more common than errors - in 2017, there were a total of 2,820 errors, less than half the number of home runs. One of the more common types of fielding errors is dropping a fly ball, so it wouldn’t take a huge percentage of would-be dropped fly balls converted to home runs to counter any uptick in fielding errors due to the ball being bouncier.
