Not in my opinion. This is also assuming that you'd go to your hotel first to check in and drop off luggage and then go out to the nearest night market at that point. It's been a few years since I've spent significant time in Taipei but the night markets were pretty quiet around that time. I was never at a night market past the last MRT trains, so that gives you a sense of their hours.
