I would like to see Vulcan fail.

Anyways it has been destroyed in DIS

but I haven't seen a kind of evolution with, maybe starting with Spock and Burnham, that they learned to appreciate emotion and affection again.

OP is referring to Vulcan culture. Sarek's displays of affection would probably not be considered "restrained" in a Vulcan-Vulcan relationship.

He certainly seems to think so, though. When he was sharing his emotions with Picard, he was distraught that he wasn't as open about his fondness for Amanda, before she died.

Sarek felt that he could have demonstrated more affection towards his human wife in a way that was meaningful to her. That is not the same thing as saying that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, or that other Vulcans would consider Sarek as not affectionate.
