If by "heir" you mean "son or daughter" then you or correct. If you mean "legitimate successor", then Maedhros has no lack, and with these being Elves, there is no need for lifespan to be a concern. They are, in order* (counting only Elves or those who choose Elvenkind...):
Maglor, Celegorm, Curufin, Celebrimbor, Caranthir, Amrod, Amras, Fingolfin, Fingon, Turgon, Idril, Earendil, Elrond, Elladan/Elrohir, Aredhel, Maeglin, Finarfin, Finrod, Aegnor, Angrod, Orodreth, Gil-Galad, Finduilas, Galadriel, Celebrian.
As you can see, no lack of heirs.
