Or even post-GT Vegeta who has long since settled into family life and who Goku hands over Earth's protection to, giving him a more selfless purpose to get stronger. That's another reason I would love to see post-GT movie/special centering around Vegeta and the other fighters. It would be interesting to see how far they've progressed and how they respond to a threat without Goku's help. But that another topic entirely...
Unfortunatley there is a version of the DB manga that ends with Vegeta thinking that he'll defeat Kakarot yet, it's literary the last panel of the story, strongly hinting at that he did not and most likely will never get over his obsession. I have no idea why Toriyama chose to include that scene, imo it ruins the ending.
But I can't seem to agree with you about the inner peace thing. Vegeta's ambition comes from his desire to defeat Goku, if he loses that and settles down, I think he might actually widen the gap between them a lot more behind , like it happened with the others. Piccolo and the rest faired better in the story as fighters back when they still viewed Goku as a rival and still believed they could defeat him. It was when they accepted that he was out of their reach that they started falling behind greatly.
