The film makes it clear that Thanos started out believing he was doing what he thought was good for the universe but was misguided. well from that I'd say that MCU still wants the audience to sympathize with Thanos even if his actions were to be opposed, knowing how Thanos works he'd likely be stuck in a never-ending loop of destroying and remaking the universe due to his inability to give up on his beliefs and his frustration that others couldn't see things as he did.. which is why MCU decided he had to perish.. Thanos probably saw his death as a kind of relief from that never-ending cycle.. so yeah.. he's probably still tragic, even at his worst.. though Endgame certainly made him more petty (the whole "turn Earth to cinders" thing).
