>Shirou doesn't find his own ideals
It's almost as if this is a story about copies surpassing originals or something. It never needed to be his, the path he takes to it needs to be. It's perspective he needs to acquire. Even if this UBW Shirou ends up as a heroic spirit, he won't end up as jaded because he will have a better understanding of himself and this ideal that he (now) truly chose to understand and follow. The last words of Archer at the end where he says "I wasn't wrong." is not him doubling down on his hatred for his situation, nor is it self-delusion. It's a reaffirmation of his heroic ideal and his beliefs.
"I wasn't wrong... for pursuing this dream. "
It's not as clear-cut and satisfyingly definitive a conclusion as giving up on your ideal to protect, to save the person you love is (HF). It's mellow, more introspective. It's a "middle-road" that isn't as satisfying as "the right track", but is in no way less right or inferior, even if it feels like it.
