Not really. When I say something is a plot device, I usually refer to something that acts on the story without itself being explored within the story. R;N was full to the top with those. Yuusha's teleportation, or the disguise ring, are arguably plot devices, but I would not refer to them as such due to how they're used. As for Maoyuu itself, I always got the feeling that big things were about to happen (the only reason I made it to the end), but each and every time events turned out to be let downs.
Well, I tend to think of things within the series' universe, thus "plot devices" are almost always never in my dictionary, unless it's a blatant deus ex machina that my suspension of disbelief is obliterated.

Wait, you feel that Yuusha's teleportation is a plot device when his powerful spells are not?
