I think Shatner can come across as a bit full of himself. He over acted a bit, and had an unique way of delivering his lines. Still, both those things contributed to Kirk becoming an iconic character. As to the "toxic masculinity" jube, to me, that portrayal was in accordance with the time. Men were expected to be manly, a captain/hero even more so, at that point in time.
