Okay.what are the actual moral complexities?
In a goldenage setting, If the owners aren't giving safe housing due to greed. Then Clark's fists will fly. Else, if they themselves are in trouble clark would go straight to the source .If money is an issue he would do whatever it takes.
Not really,Just escalation. Superman adapts.already, said it. The mind set, i am using is that of what anarchists like goldenage superman or luffy would do. Superman adapting.
You saying that doesn't make it so. Superman was regularly treated as vigilante figure. As j jonah Jameson would say "He's a Menace,I tell yah!. A Menace ".And for superman that might have been true. There is a simple right and wrong there. But,That doesn’t mean the character superman was'nt complex nor the situation he handled or the way he handled can't be seen from different perspectives. Hence, the complexity. Furthermore, postcrisis is actually the one about simple moral tales, with simplistic "hope harder, dream bigger" lessons and superman being an example kinda deal. Goldenage had nothing to do with superman being a moral example. He is just a strongman vigilante from space.He was a true champion.

Note:-clark could have gotten hurt. His skin wasn't nearly as tough back then
