I wouldn't agree. His rules were for the benefit of all, and fairly
uniform.
Every rule broken was basically "don't touch/eat/do that, else there
will be dire consequences."

What punishments? The only one he gave was to Charlie, but Charlie
redeemed himself, and Wonka easily caved. Everyone else was
punished by their own actions.

I do agree here. He didn't try very hard to prevent people from
breaking his rules, which puts him very close to Neutral.
