I doubt it, because everyone felt it was a heroic and necessary sacrifice to stop the Nine-Tails. The fact he is regarded as such a hero, even among his fellow Hokage, shows that.

However, that being said, it's pretty clear that his lose is well felt. Anko even mentioned her regret that the Fourth was gone because he could have helped deal with Orochimaru. Of course, the Third Hokage admonished her for even saying that, as he felt Minato's sacrifice had measured to the honor of what is expected of the Hokage. Basically, Hiruzen at least felt they couldn't have asked for more.

That being said, Minato himself is seen to have felt guilty for dying because he couldn't have intervened with the Uchiha Clan Massacre or Naruto's poor upbringing.

Although, even so, I am more curious about whether the Third questioned Minato's choices at all. Unlike most people, Hiruzen was aware of what Minato did and why he sacrificed himself. Specifically, Minato didn't sacrifice himself to seal the Nine-Tails, he could have done that without sacrificing himself. In reality, the reason he used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal Kurama was because he wanted to weaken Kurama for a Eight Sign Sealing Style. Because that seal could allow Naruto to wield Kurama's power as a weapon rather than a simple cage, which is what the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki were initially for. In other words, it was Minato who turned the Jinchuriki of Konoha from a sealing vessal into a true weapon. Now, we know Jiraiya felt that this was by design, as Minato never did anything without a reason, and so Jiraiya felt it was Minato's wish to see Naruto tame Kurama's power, especially since it was weakened by the Yin half being removed.

So, you'd think the Third might have questions for why Minato did this, and why he thought it was so important that it was worth dying for. The normal citizen and shinobi didn't know this, probably because the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki apparently was such a top secret fact that most of the village didn't even know it was there. As a result, people wouldn't understand why such sacrifice was needed to re-purpose the Jinchuriki as a weapon instead of a simple cage/deterrent.
