No, notice how the books did never at any point had omniscient narrator. Leto II forced his own vision on entire galaxy and even himself had serious doubts about if it was the only path possible, or he was just locked into the random one.
This! Knowing one path that “works” despite all it flaws and the pain it creates, but feeling trapped because the alternative is a great unknown and possibly a worse outcome, so he follows the one he can foresee.
It’s also very ironic because if we stay on the ground of Frank and ignore Omnius, Golden Path was cure for the problems created by Golden Path in the first place.
It’s also full of holes for example how starving humanity who just walks and lives on subsistence farming was supposed to suddenly obtain thousands of FTL spaceships of new and forbidden design and Scatter to colonise possibly multiple galaxies. Or how was humanity who just walks and lives on subsistence farming even starve in the first place just because the ruler croaked.

Assuming Herbert is truthful then the alternative was even greater cruelty and I think even extinction
That’s what they always say.
