I don't think he was fully committed to being evil, just wanted to run the galaxy a better way and was tricked by Palpatine to an extent along with everyone else. He literally told Obi-Wan everything in Ep 2 when he had him captured. He knew the Jedi and the Republic were corrupt, but didn't realize he was helping spread the corruption.

I've never even seen him as evil. I've always seen him as more of a "tragic hero" figure (he ticks all the boxes).

Well he definitely is evil to me. Good intentions can be corrupted by self service and egoism, which are kind of necessary for the dark side.
