Objectively best decision he made

His handling of Cuba was more useful, though both were right

the post missile crisis stuff where he coerced cuba into not diversifying their economy was kinda cringe

Yes but wouldn't have any other possible soviet leader at the time done the same thing? Its the parts where he set up future failure that i'm concerned with.

I think if he was spineless (rather than merely soulless) he might have backed down sooner and thereby lost bargaining power. I don't know a lot about it, so perhaps you're right, but it feels like a "We don't feel our whole body functioning healthily, just the part of our foot where the shoe pinches" sort of thing (not to trivialize your criticism, it's more than a shoe pinching, just paraphrasing Schopenhauer).
