No. For timesharing tasks, the problem is not relevant. For soft realtime tasks, it's up to you to make sure that the highest priority task runnable is actually runnable. Priority inheritance is not necessarily a good idea, remember: it can only work by completely destroying the predictable nature of the task priority ordering that you had in the first place.
