I can't say I agree with your sentiment, because it pins his turnover to "doing right for right's sake" at the very end when I think it happens much earlier than that, at least after the first Avengers movie if not earlier. I think he is genuine in wanting to help other people, but there is definitely a bit of selfishness in that, no one is 100% pure in their altruism.
What I had meant though about "instead of being selfish" is that it would have been selfish to use his energy to try to better his bubble instead of trying to keep the world from being destroyed. And I don't think his story is about guilt, I think it's about fear.
To me Tony is someone who is trying to do the right thing, but keeps over-extending the scale 1) because he has the means to, and 2) because of an underlying fear. And that spells doom because he has all of the traits of a tragic character (of which one is arrogance!). And the funny thing is, maybe he could have helped the world more, if he wasn't so hell bent on trying to save it all at once (which he dies for).
