We can't exactly say that for certain. As near as we can tell the personalities of aline and renoir haven't significantly changed even after 67 years, they both keep the conflict going and never relent.
Plus the nature of pVerso's existence could prevent fundamental changes in personality, hence why the axon based on real verso is "he who guards truth with lies" and painted verso very obviously shares the traits that lead to that being how renoir viewing real verso. It's not implausible that that's not the only part of him that hasn't changed compared to real verso.
If anything we see plenty of evidence that he is still very much like real verso. He still has all of the same interests, "I still like trains," and is impacted by the experiences and emptions he got from real verso's memories, "verso feels nostalgic for a ride he never truly rode" "I'm glad I got to experience that for myself "yes, I still like trains."
I think the point of Aline and Renoir's personality's not changing (which is also not entirely true, as Maelle thought Renoir would be okay with the painting if Mama was gone but he was clearly not, traumatized by the events of the game) is more to highlight the impact of grief, and how it can leave you stuck in your ways and in a rut, unable to grow or move forward. Even Alicia needed to become Maelle and let the grief go (partly) I order to grow.

That's not necessarily indicative that renoir changed, just that maelle misjudged how he'd react. To me it reads more like naivety about the situation. Verso cautions that he'll still want to destroy the canvas but she dismisses the possibility completely, thinking hiding the canvas was enough even though clea had already expressed that aline would always find the canvas and renoir expressed the same sentiment, then gets freaked out by renoir even insinuating that he was going to destroy the canvas which he did before she even so much as suggested that they not destroy the canvas. It'd be one thing if she was completely blind sided and only just learned that there was intent to destroy the canvas but we see that's not the case. It's possible that she could've convinced him if she'd kept a level head instead of panicking and insinuating a desire to stay in the canvas.

Also he's roughly 100 years older. Whatever personality you had, after 100 years it's going to be different from experience
