I hated that part. It was so unbelievable that a man like him suddenly becomes a saint. Also, at some point suddenly nobody seemed to think of Cardassians as evil anymore, while previously they were portrayed as raping mass murderer fascists.
But props to Marc Alaimo, he really played Dukat extremely well.

I think it was pretty hard to determine exactly what his role in the occupation was until s6e11, “Waltz” when he outs himself while pulling a Misery on Sisco. Though I guess his selling out the Cardassians to the Dominion one season earlier was a pretty glaring clue. It seemed to me that he could have been a victim of circumstance rather than a vindictive monster until that point.
Though in hindsight, I get it being very hard to swallow that he might be redeemable.
