Although it seems silly, it's not totally unrealistic either. There were multiple times in England alone where you had different branches of the royal families competing for the throne with many potential heirs killed within periods of instability that lasted decades.
Viserys being unable to create a male heir led to a power vacuum, and you had everyone doing their best to create their own heirs.
Once we get another jump forward and all the children become power hungry adults, I think the show will get a lot more interesting.
At this stage I don't see them killing off too many before the next big jump ahead.
