No. Sharding is to give the database more resources (CPU, disk, RAM, bandwidth) than you could fit into a single machine. Spreading the same resources over multiple machines won't help (and creating ten shards on the same machine even less so). You'd just be adding overhead without any benefits. If you end up with ten times the resources in total, then yes, that would help.
