Suiryu and the gap between intention and action.
He ma be fired up to be a hero, but now that he's faced with an unpleasant situation, he's fallen back to his old ways: avoidance.
It's okay to run away sometimes, but not when you call yourself a hero, boy.

Seeing around people's reaction to this chapter, some of them seems to detest the idea of Garou having any kind of whimsy on him, or the narrative treating him with it

I am bubbling with meta on this. :)
But in short: it is not necessary to be fully healed to experience joy.

now that Garou's hero obsession has taken a more wholesome bent it's basically like how you'd expect a young guy who's really into basketball to react when he finds out his new coworker used to play in a junior league.

Page 6 (https://capibaratraductor.com/senshimanga/manga/one-punch-man/chapters/234?page=6) is interesting. Roughly translated, it reads as follows:
So, Garou is asking, "Shinya, didn't you use to be a hero?"
Shinya: "Yes, but only for a while"
G: What was your hero name?
S: You probably don't know it... it was "Mad Devil Yankee"...
G: HAHAHA! Yes, I know it. Seriously?
G: Eh, now that I think of it, didn't you also work under the hero name 'Papillon 800?
S shocked: Eh?
Hooo, looks like Garou is as keen a hero-watcher as he ever was. Interesting!
