This is actually explicitly canon to the point that some of the (admittedly less than canon) books have other klingons calling him basically a tryhard.
Also, Klingon culture had become quite corrupted by that point whilst he was raised outside it with the idea of what a real Klingon is supposed to be. I forgot the exact episode, deep space nine for sure, but he got called the last true Klingon because of this.
It’s an interesting take on being driven by ideals and insisting on them.
I wonder of the Klingon empire would never have stopped expanding if instead of fracturing into minor squabbles they all stayed true to the spirit as he did.
