On the contrary. I've often called the characters out on it when they were being hypocritical or stupid.

But in case of killing we have heaps of evidence that they are... almost as good as their word.

There were plenty of times when killing their opponent wouldn't just have been justified, but the most sensible and logical thing to do and almost any normal person would have gone for the kill, but FT didn't.

I think rather than me having an overly rosy view, you might have an overly dark view on a series that Mashima wrote with expressitly said to be intended with a far lighter atmosphere and setting than his previous works.
