Whenever Uriel Septim VII was in-charged, things was getting better for the Empire whenever he was not in-charged, aka being trapped by Jagar Tharn or when he died during TES IV: Oblivion, Empire destabilized. So it is safe to say he was a good Emperor.

Though he was already like 70, an Imperial (Human) so I don't think he can live till the Thalmor rise to power. In fact it might be a little hard for Martin to live till Thalmor or 3rd Aldmeri Dominion rise to power.

But if Martin had lived to become Emperor, the Thalmor might not have been given the chance to gain power since it was Oblivion Crisis that gave the Thalmor chance to seize power and the Great War might not have taken place.
