No, Heli-coils are fine.  But the joint should not have failed just because
you left out the last turn of Heli-coil (as directed).
There is likely something else going on.

My point is that the maximum stress on those threads is more than just the
initial 65 ftlb.  So just because it held when you
torqued the bolt down does not mean it will hold in service.
