The quality issues of "Rings of Power" aside, for anyone who believes that Tolkien's works don't include moral grayness, there is only one response: Fëanor.

No need to go even that far, Tom Bombadil is as morally gray or neutral as a character can be.

He doesn't care about right or wrong, he's just having good time banging his beautiful wife and singing songs about her

Fwiw, I see Jack Black and Renee Elise Goldsberry for these roles.
