Hmm. I'm a huge fan of moral complexity, but I don't know that that's the place I'd most want to see moral complexity for Crowley come from... I'm more interested in the ways he's morally complex now than the ways he might have been morally complex then. Although I'm sure there were some -- it's always seemed to me that "I only ever asked questions" is at least a significant simplification even if the heart of it is true -- and I have no doubt that some really interesting things could be done with that. Probably even things that, if I saw them, I'd absolutely love them, and if I'm looking back at this comment after next season and shaking my head that I ever thought maybe that wasn't something I wanted, that would be a great outcome! But I'm not sure I feel it's necessary. (Well, maybe. My feelings on this are kind of vague, and I'm more sort of thinking out loud about it than articulating any kind of firm opinion on the matter.)

I think I see Crowley not as morally superior to Aziraphale, but as someone who was forced, a very long time ago, to learn a lesson that Aziraphale is still struggling with.
