Believe it or not, I actually agree with you. What's unrealistic (and boring, in fiction) is not having to struggle at all to be happy. But struggling and prevaling isn't unrealistic! It happens all the time.
It does! And I dislike the message that no matter how hard you struggle, you're doomed. I dislike it in general, but I relate a lot to some of Ianto's struggles, so I have an exceptional dislike for it in this case!
