I don't think so, but don't forget that there is also candle lighting,
which is explicitly covered in the text of the eruv.   Whether one
needs to make one just for that is another question, but I don't think
it would be a bracha levatala, because one is also being mezakeh the
eruv to everyone else in the city.   Still, one could make it without
a bracha, or even just ask someone else to explicitly have one in mind
in his eruv.  Especially if that someone is ones host for one of the
Shabbos meals.   Another solution would be to deliberately obligate
oneself in the eruv by adding water to the urn on Friday afternoon.
