Did he successfully abuse his power? I’d argue he didn’t, that the checks and balances worked, i.e. the Supreme Court ruling his attempts to prorogue Parliament illegal.
But I’d strongly agree that what Peter Hennessy termed “the good chap” theory of government was challenged and very nearly broke. There is definitely a need for stronger constitutional arrangements to ensure this is guarded against in future.
