Tony Stark would be controversial. A billionaire weapons dealer who indirectly killed millions of people with his weapons. Then he turns around and decides to be a superhero but continues to cause destruction and inadvertently kill people. A lot of people would think he’s only doing heroic acts for the praise.
In the comics and movies defense, within universe he is controversial and it is a major plot point with the Sokovia Accords / Registration Act to put some guardrails around him. And in terms of character growth, he supports those laws, even though they restrict his autonomy, whereas a younger version of himself wouldn’t comply and act as a reckless narcissist.
