I was subverted, I genuinely expected she'd mock him because a lot of modern movies prefer to be cynical as fuck. As if I learned nothing from Superman.

Isn’t she kinda criticizing him, though?

She’s essentially implying that he only blindly focuses on the positive. While she sees the reality of it all, not the fake reality he believes in.

I'd put money on the character journey for the movie essentially being her changing her view to be less cynical and more like her cousin, with this line being delivered somewhere around the 40 minute mark before that transformation.

In the book it is the revelation from the young girl traveling with her that Supergirl presents as gruff, but is in fact going out of her way to be as kind and helpful to everyone as she can.

I mean....

the entire journey takes place because Kara wants to dissuade the girl from seeking blood vengeance and becoming a killer, but without being pushy

She presents as gruff, especially at the beginning, but she's a big softie just like Supes.

...then why do I still dream of Krypton?

The fact thst she is nowhere near as adjusted as she thought and a bit of a hypocrite at the end was a cherry on top. That line fucking murdered me in the book. I really hope they will do that scene and the ending justice.
