[DC] Can the Yellow ring/lantern be used as a force of good? E.g. fear of losing your loved ones so you fight and be empowered by it

Or does this translate to a Darth Vader-esque route?

It's more or less goes full Dark Side.  Sinestro himself was motivated by a desire to accomplish what he believed was the Green Lantern Corps' actual directive, bring peace, when he felt they weren't capable.  Except "bring peace" rapidly became "impose order" which gave way to "accumulate power" towards the end.  He was, after all, motivated by the fear of what would happen when his stabilizing authority was removed, fear of losing another friend to evil, and never mind what he had to do or become to prevent it.

It's not that you can't use a Yellow Lantern ring to produce positive outcomes, but doing so takes a toll on you and, bit by bit, you'll lose those good intentions.  When the desire to do good becomes the fear of others doing evil, the need for control is never far behind.
