Pretty much anything (except maybe a toxic/bullying sibling dynamic) is better than being an only child, I would say, from my own experience... :-/
Though I guess that doesn't carry for those Einzelkinder who get spoiled by parents as their only offspring, but for me, at least... It was a really fucking bad time, sadly.
So if I ever get to have kids, I definitely plan to have at least two. For their sake!

I had an OK time of it as an only child. Was sort of spoiled but we were poor so not all that much.
I'm hoping for at least 3, myself. Four would be pretty nice.
