I think Trip's sort-of apology to T'Pol is the closest they (the crew and officers of NX-01) will get to admitting that maybe they still have some things to learn from the Vulcans. Which, I think, is the point; the Vulcans lack the particular drives (though their control is not perfect, as has been demonstrated several times) to draw the greatest amount of knowledge possible from exploration, while humans could get themselves killed if they proceed without at least some Vulcan caution.

I do like that the Eyrie crew has managed to make something interesting out of the mess that was Star Trek V.
