That explanation makes sense, as long as you are not using the terms tzadekes and baalas teshuva the way we normally use them. Rather you are using BT to mean she transformed her essence.
Here’s some more:
Eisav and Yaakov were supposed to be partners- with Eisav focusing on the material, and Yaakov on the spiritual, Eisav supporting Yaakov’s learning. Leah was meant for Eisav, since both were the oldest, and as the bechor, Eisav/Leah would have gotten a double portion of the shevatim- 8, with Yaakov having 4 to complete the 12 shevatim. When Eisav sold his bechora to Yaakov, Eisav rejected his role, and Yaakov had to take over Eisav’s task- hence he got the gashmi brochos from Yitzchak, He also got to marry Leah, who still was zoche to 8 of the shevatim. So Leah marrying Yaakov was not just about her changing, but also about Yaakov changing and taking on a task originally meant for Eisav, for which Leah was most fit.
