These are the only shonen protagonist archetypes, any shonen MC can fall somewhere in between these two guys.

There are no truly complex anime characters. No anime with layered characterization like Sopranos or Succession, no anime characters with highly unique cadence like Frasier Crane or Raoul Duke.
Closest I can think of would be Spike Spiegel or Rintaro Okabe

Eren was kinda the middle ground between the two, before the author killed any personal growth and turned him into a huger pussy than shinji

Wait, talking about Shinji who's a ripoff of Akira Fudo? Or Kenshiro who's a ripoff of Violence Jack(who was also Akira Fudo)?
