Not quite?
I mean at least the way I interpreted this as presented in UBW is that Shiro only becomes a miserable piece of shit if he takes the path of heroism while selflessly discarding everything he "doesn't need".
But if he takes the middle path, Which you could interpret as
>Being a hero and getting pussy aren't mutually exclusive
He grows to become a hero without having a shitty life as he has Rin to support him.
