Not in the least. The Qing even tried to "buddy up" to them.

He did have brothers, though those born before him probably died or had something really wrong with them, since neither got the throne. However, for the most part, Wanli was a good emperor, and kept the Ming in power longer. Even his younger brother, who vastly outlived him, seems to have not been all "there."
