even though I imagine I'll probably be in this situation with him again soon, I agreed to stay.

You likely
will be in the situation again because you enabled him by staying after what he did to you.
Another option would be to leave and tell him to call you in six months if he has been sober.

I've questioned myself and my own values over the last few months; wondered if maybe there was something I could do to come to peace with his condition and accept that he might not actually get better.

Well that depends on what you mean. If you mean that he will always be an alcoholic, that is probably true and not necessarily a dealbreaker if he stays sober.
But if you mean that you are coming to terms with the way he treats you when he is drinking, that is another matter altogether. I hope that you don't do that. You deserve better, much better.

I wonder how much of our problems are related to the alcoholism

Well the way that he treats you when he drinks seems to be
entirely related to alcoholism.
