The same chazal that faulted the chashmonaim for making a treaty with rome and ttaking over the kingdom also considered them to be great tzadikim. Just because they were true tzadikim, much bigger tzadikim than anyone here will ever become, doesn’t mean they didn’t have faults. also, a few faults doesn’t make someone not a tzadik.

Herod was a slave to the Chashmonaim and he killed his masters, he wasn’t a chashmonai.

The torah holds of kanaus, if it’s done properly for the right reasons. spitting on little girls isn’t proper and probably wasn’t for the right reasons
