It's a good thing there wasn't a fever dream remake 30 years later, nor a prequel nobody asked for concerning Wonka's origins.That would just be silly.
I dunno if I'd call it depressing. I find it to be uplifting. It's a mother's love, and that can be a powerful insulator against the ugliness of life. He has a great mom that loves him and is doing her best. The song shows that.
A more realistic interpretation, undoubtedly. My biggest criticism is how it disrupts the pacing of the film. It's an act break, but a weak transition.

Inside of one day he witnesses murders, deformations, then handed control of a factory run on slave labor. Yeah, he'll be fine.

In addition to now owning the factory that just housed all those injuries and fatalities.
