Being spiritual and pacifist is a mark of maturity? Certainly not signs of immaturity, yeah, but I wouldn't peg them as mutually inclusive with maturity either. There's a time and a place for everything. Punching someone for making fun of your shoes? Not mature. Gunning down Hitler to save thousands? Outside the mature/immature spectrum.

Besides, Aang's not exactly the picture of maturity. He ran from his responsibilities, or tried to, every time they came up. Every time one of the previous Avatars told him an answer he didn't like while he was on the lion-turtle, he turned to another one hoping for a different answer, like a kid getting told 'no' by one parent and trying to do an end-run with the other. (I thought Avatar Yangchen, another Airbender, had a very good point about the responsibilities of sometimes sacrificing one's own morals for the good of others/the world.) And, in an angry, huff, he decapitated one of those buzzard-wasps in the desert. But hey, all life is sacred.

A lot of that has to do with him being a young child. Young children are pretty much immature by definition. But still, such events were part of his character nonetheless, hypocrisy and all. Just because the narrative catered to his worldviews (last minute spirit-bending!) doesn't mean he really (figuratively speaking) walked on water.
