Not really. If you look at the original design, the designers were familiar with the 8080. Intel had produced a whitepaper detailing how to adapt 8080 peripheral chips to the 8088 and that is what they did. Down to the overly complicated way to demultiplex the bus and the incomplete decoding of I/O space.
