Is DFW's Hal a successful, appropriate, or failed spiritual successor to Shakespeare's Hamlet?

This is the most accurate response.
Hal takes on Hamlet's hesitance and thoughtfulness, Orin carries out the passionate revenge for his father, Mario is probably the least like JOI (because ~~JOI isn't his dad~~) and yet carries on one of his most important interests.

I would say Hal individually is not enough of a parallel to Hamlet the character to say if he succeeded or not. Hal's role is very different.
