I'm trying to think of someone who could fill his shoes. There are very talented people around today, but I can't think of a writer who will become a pop culture icon like Serling. Admittedly that might be partially because TV shows aren't really introduced any more, especially not by their writers. But yes, his hit/miss rate was considerably in his favour and he really had a lot to say. So no, I don't think there's anyone who ticks as many boxes as he does.
