Not if you use it at the end of the router I’d think, just have it catch anything not yet caught.
Why not just make a path that does get /p/:id, ... for some short ID though?

I think you misinterpreted. You may be thinking of responses I have had to folks asking for matching on regex patterns as “wildcards” as me denying those kinds of matches because that would be much slower since we can’t pattern match, but a wildcard match, ie get "/*" or get "/foobar/*" will be super fast and just as fast as any other route match. As other have said, you can get what you by a either a wildcard forward match in the router, followed by your own custom lookup and dispatch code, which calls the appropriate controller (or plug), ie controller.call(controller.init(some_action))
