Conker's game probably would have been a good game whether or not it stuck to the original plans.
Rare's excuse for making it so gritty was that they wanted to try something different from the happy-go-lucky mascot platforming games that were extremely common back then. They fear that if they didn't do what they did to Conker, then it would be overshadowed by the other games out there (including some of their own, such as Banjo-Kazooie). I wouldn't say I blame them because if you look at the first Banjo game and then at Conker's Twelve Tales, you would see how much more polished and fresh of a game the former is compared to the latter.
