That stuff is reading a bit deeper into the story than I think the writers intended but it's plausible. Now I just wish they would take this concept further and have gray jedi in 9.

I definitely think all of this is on purpose. You can see the focus on balance in other places, like the only person who remotely comes out ahead in the movie being the codebreaker, who finds his own balance by playing both sides.

The old movies would have either had him come to a heroic rescue after selling Finn/Rose out or they would have shown him getting some kind of retribution for being an opportunistic asshole. Neither happened here - he was called out by the good guys, acknowledges they might be right but they also might not be, then he takes his leave with his money. A fucking Star Wars movie executing a true neutral character that well is probably the last thing I expected to see going in to this.
