Not really. The variants of lithium have their own peculiarities. If one considers those limitations in the design, then they are very reliable - more so than NiMH.
A perfect example is the Tesla Roadster and Model S batteries... poked full of something like 7700 18650 LiPo cells - laptop grade. Absolutely nothing special and NEVER intended to be used for an EV application. Tesla designed a battery around the limitations of the cell. Seems like they got it right.
