I think that Sasuke's character doesn't revolve around revenge and trauma but instead more around the search for truth.
Sasuke's entire journey has been about finding out the truth. The truth behind his brother, Konoha, and the ninja system itself. With each part of his journey he searches a greater truth.
At first, it's just about his brother and his clan. Who was behind the massacre? Why did Itachi do what he did?
Then, his focus shifts to the village itself. Knowing why Itachi killed his clan, he began to ask why the village ordered the massacre. Who was behind the order?
After confronting Danzo and saying good bye to Edo-Itachi, his focus changes again. This time, he wants to go even further back. Why is there mistrust of the Uchiha in the first place? He learns about the Konoha founding and Madara and Hashirama's past. He learns what a ninja is and finds the root of the mistrust of the Uchiha (which of course leads to all the problems later down the line).
To finish his journey, Sasuke meets the Sage. There, he learns the true underlying cause behind everything. The clash between Madara and Hashirama isn't the underlying cause behind the problems in Sasuke's life, the conflict between Ashura and Indra is.
In short, his life was the search for truth and the meeting with the Sage was like enlightenment, where he learns the ultimate truth. And to go with this enlightenment, he pretty much gets the eyes of god.
I think there's meaning behind Sasuke being the only non-Edo capable of resisting the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi is a lie and only his eyes are capable of "seeing" the truth. Sasuke's journey (and his search for truth) is what ultimately led him to getting the Rinnegan and only his Rinnegan (and consequently his Susanoo) is capable of keeping people ground in reality.
Simply put, his eyes allow him to see the truth. Look at how he was able to see the Limbo clones that nobody else could.
Extra: Itachi's most famous quotation, directed at Sasuke, was about what truth and reality is. Also, Sasuke, despite being a prodigy, never really showed proficiency at using genjutsu. It failed against Bee (since he's a jinchuuriki) and Danzo commented on how his genjutsu was nothing compared to Itachi's. Instead of putting people under an illusion, Sasuke is good at breaking out of one. See how how broke out Itachi's genjutsu during their fight.
