The last I heard, there's a lack of evidence as to wether google (the only se to which this concern really applies) was using whois as part of it's ranking algo.
Definitely it's part of their investigative and human review toolkit, if for some reason they look at your domains manually.
The basic ranking algo can detect the interlinking, wether or not it checks and ranks with whois.
So, you're fucked coming and going.
