The NPK numbers are similar to what palms require, although a ratio of 3-1-4 + minors is recently recommended.
Does it also have Manganese? (Mn)

Yup, it's good for palms.
It does have Mn and Mg and all the other good stuff like Zinc and Boron.

Manganese is THE most important thing for palms. Without it, they eventually decline.

Re your "overkill" question, yes you can kill a palm.
By not following label instructions.
