There's no way Grisha doesn't want the world, or at least Marley, to completely burn over what happened to Faye and Dina topped with Zeke's betrayal. Nobody goes through all of that and just suddenly decides "oh, let's let bygones be bygones because evil is such a subjective term, right?". Anyone that goes through that would do everything in their power to use something like the Rumbling to crush their enemies.

I think you're forgetting Grisha's conversation with Kruger when Kruger was trying to give him the Attack Titan. Grisha said that he was all out of hate, and had he known the price of freedom would have cost him his family he never would have paid it. (So yeah, he would have limped along in Marley like his dad if he'd known ahead of time.)

But Kruger tells Grisha that he didn't choose Grisha because of his hate for Marley, but because he went past the wall. He then tells Grisha once he's inside the walls he should have a family again, he should find love.

And we know Grisha does just that. He finds a wife, starts a new family with a child of his own and another that he adopts. Grisha doesn't undertake his mission because he hates. He left that behind. Reclaiming the Founding Titan is to repay his fallen comrades, and because he believed that if he did not, the rest of the Eldians in the world would eventually be exterminated.
