No. You are missing the point, they are sterile because they are Demon Lords, not because they are powerful. Veldanava was a True Dragon and a God, he wasn't a Demon Lord. Milim on the other hand is.

The reason Benimaru's Demon "Lordification" was stalled was because he couldn't have an heir, and as ruler of the Ogre Tribe, that couldn't happen. That's why that whole sub-plot of him getting married and "doing his duty as a living being" existed, because he needed to pass on his genes "before" he became a Demon Lord. Because you become sterile after the process.

Milim and Shion are both True Demon Lords, they are sterile. I'm not saying there aren't go-arounds, technically Rimuru could go back in the past and collect DNA from both "before" they were Demon Lords and use that DNA to synthesize a child with his human DNA in a sort of artifical process. However, that doesn't change the fact they are sterile as they sit. Creation Lord Ahura Mazda may have a sort of "miracle concept" compacity as well, as it creates whatever the user desires, and so technically Rimuru could "will" his child into existance, I suppose that could be another go-around.

Either way, as I implied, Rimuru is unique in that his power is not self-sustaining, its pretty much impossible for him to get weaker at this point, because he became so powerful in the first place by consuming the power of others. If the power is lost, he just consumes it again. The power than made him an Ultimate Slime still exists in the form of Veldora, and Veldora can just be consumed again as he was before. Also, the Nihilistic Energy that has rendered him near invincible as long as Rimuru has enough power to open a gate to the end of space and time where he absorbed the power initially. After that, I see no reason between that, his Harvest Lord, his Void God, and his Information King that he'd not be just as strong as he was initially.

Remember, Veldanava was different, his powers came solely from himself and there was no way to reclaim that power once it was given to Milim. Rimuru, on the other hand, absorbs his power externally, so can easily re-gain his power as long as he can maintain a certain level, i.e. the ability to use Storm King Veldora (True Dragon Release) or Void God Azathoth.
