FWIW, I interpreted more as "This is something I wanted to see happen, and I'm glad to see it happening even if I'm not involved in it."

That's correct. I can't even really take credit for any of the really nice work, as much as I wish I could!
Could be either. Nevertheless, while tone is tricky in text, the writer is responsible for relieving ambiguity.
eliminating ambiguity is impossible. the reader should work to find the strongest interpretation of the writer's words
that’s a lot to expect of readers… good writing needs to give readers every opportunity to find the good in it.

It's also natural language though, one can find however much ambiguity in there as they can inject. It hasn't for a single moment come across as pretentious to me for example.
Think of all the tiresome Twitter discussions that went like "I like bagels -> oh, so you hate croissants?".
