I agree with this. Rivals don't always have to be jerks.
What I find annoying about Hau is not him being laid-back, but him being overly happy (especially him jumping up and down in delight). It's because I find people IRL who are like that annoying. I mostly stayed true to the games when portraying Hau in my fanfic, except in my fanfics he doesn't jump up and down when he's excited like he does in the games. Other than that, I kept him laid-back and cheerful. I felt the 6th gen rivals were a bit underdeveloped, so I expanded on their personalities. (I even made Shauna and Tierno the beta couple in my fanfics - the main couple being Calem and Serena.)
For the region I'm making, I have two rivals. One of them actually is a jerk rival, although I made the jerk rival female since female jerk rivals haven't been done before in the games. She's pretty similar to Silver. The other rival is friendly and they are the player character who isn't picked (meaning that if you choose the boy, both rivals will be girls).

Hau is such a chill guy he makes me feel like the asshole rival.

Nostalgia-blinded...... I love how you said it like that. It's a great way to describe a LOT of "gamers" out there.

2 of the most annoying types of gamers out there: The modern day purists who lose their shit if someone doesn't like modern day games, and the nostalgia purists who can't shut the fuck up about Gen. 1 pokemon or classic Spyro. I like classic sonic's design, but I hate how the classic Eggman looks: A red/yellow bowling ball with arms,legs and a head slapped on. I hate modern Sonic's design(it looks like his arms and legs got caught in a medival stretching device), but I think modern Eggman's design was done nicely;hwe actaully looks like a human being now,and not a bowling ball with arms and legs. If you like modern Sonic's design,then I'm okay with that. If you like classic Spyro's design, then I'm okay with that. I'm NOT okay with people bashing others for liking modern Spyro or Pokemon Gen 5 or 6(the gens that are the Scrappy-Doos of the pokemon games-they get too much undeserved hate.), or people bashing others just for hating modern Sonic's design or hating the Alola region.
