Nah, Luke wasn't a male "Mary Sue" at all. He received training (as extensively as the movies' run times would accommodate) and, importantly, he suffered and sacrificed for his hard-won gains.
(Whereas Rey was evidently good at everything from the outset and sacrificed nothing, until she temporarily died at the end of Episode IX.)
As for MOTU Revelation, it would appear that much of the backlash isn't necessarily because the story focuses on Teela, but rather that many of the male characters in the story are largely presented as ineffectual and overly deferential.
