Perhaps the tribe's negative outlook on Ifrit worship sparked (ha, puns) a curiosity within your character about him. This could have lead to a secret fascination with the Primal, pretty much along how you describe him, except it would be an exciting and personal secret that he would keep from his tribe.
This route could also lead to some interesting character development down the road, as he gradually realizes that the object of his admiration is actually a terrible and merciless beast who wishes to enslave all of Eorzea to his will.
Just a suggestion though! Feel free to ignore!
I was thinking about this on my drive home, and rereading that quest text there's nothing in it that specifically says "Boo, Ifrit." They decry blind worship, and they decry avoiding glorious death, and they go on about fighting honorably, but nowhere do they express umbrage with Ifrit himself.
It would stand happily in the grey areas, I think, that they might not revere Ifrit but they can certainly acknowledge his powers as a primal. Tempering is bad, yes, and blind zealotry is worse, yes, but Ifrit represents the eternally burning flame and commands a wealth of power.
Pardon my blaspheming here, but there's a big difference between Old Testament Big G and New Testament Big G. It's possible to worship the New one while not feeling the Old one was very just.
In short, do whatever. Just be aware that open worship of a primal is probably grounds for execution in "civilized' Eorzea because they'd assume you are tempered.
