The answer is no. Effectively the flare stack is part of the flare header - it's simply the terminal end of the header. The design of the flare tip will be affected by the pressure in the flare header, but the elevation of the tip (flare stack height) is the elevation necessary for preventing excessive radiant heat exposure.

It has been said in some locations that the flare stack acts as the local road lighting system....
You also get ground flares where the flame is hidden from horizontal view by being located inside a large open topped surround.
Or sometime ground flares where there is a big pit and horizontal, though rising, flame.
If you've got the space then a vertical flare is cheaper and easier.
