Not necessarily.
The reason why src blocks without language are not tangled is simply
because of the way I fixed
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/AS8P193MB241369D9F0701F57E293429288D3A@AS8P193MB2413.EURP193.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/T/#u

I think that `org-babel-tangle-collect-blocks' can be changed to allow
tangling src blocks without language with explicitly provided tangle
target.

It might be a good exercise if you want to submit a patch.
