Nah, someone could have those traits and still be a "Marty Stu", Saikou. It simply depends on execution of the theme as a whole. Right now, both Nero and Neris scream "special OC"; children of 2 major characters and both possessing immense power that's presumably a mix between the two strongest kinds of magic.

Nero being a goof and having his chuuni-ness lampshaded and Neris being overtly favorable to the MC may be attempts to mitigate this, but as they're both so uninvolved with our MCs (which they have to be as much as they can because of story reasons), their not receiving development aside from their immediately observable traits will inevitably harm their image a bit.
