IMO, this is a fair/accurate read. Granted, I obviously support certain digs of his more than you, but overall he absolutely showed humility, grace, and genuine emotion. I thought the end was especially powerful when he talked about Erika/forgiveness/Jesus, and seemed to do with sincerity.
I also think you touched on the biggest takeaway, which is that "he is obviously not a ghoul and does indeed have humanity." I know the left goes WAY overboard in their rhetoric, excuses a ton of **** on their own side, weaponizes empathy to an insane degree, etc, but most of those on the left whom I know, at least, are good, decent people who ultimately want the same things we all want. That's why I can't stand blanket remarks like "the left is evil" or "the left killed Charlie Kirk." Are there evil people on the left? Yes, 100%. But most of them have humanity, treat people with kindness, have a soul, etc, they just have different (or sometimes flat out wrong) views of how to achieve the things we all want. Which is how I've always viewed Kimmel (that, and I actually do find him the funniest of the current, nightly late night hosts, which is blasphemy to some, I know).
Anyway, I just wanted to acknowledge the olive branch (even though I sit somewhere in the middle between the right and left) in the spirit of trying to find some common ground here.
