Nope the 787 engine problems that both GE and RR are seeing failures on are basically due to the requirements placed upon them. GE engines have also seen failures and premature replacements.
RR have said the issues on the 787 engine are specific issues related to the airframe.
There seems to be a good reason why the 747-8, 737MAX, A350, A320neo, A330neo, and 777X did not got “bleedless”. The energy needs to be extracted from the engine somehow.
