No but hot things will just radiate it away, regardless of vacuum.
Apparently there are a lot of concerns, of which is venting heat. Also the change of heat as a satellite dips in and out of sunlight.
I didn't think about radiation, which I should have since it's a not-small problem for human astronauts.

Yes, but the infrared radiators for a single megawatt are apx the size of 4 tennis courts. Until there's a space elevator, that's a tremendous amount of resources to get into orbit.
