There isn't any lighthearted moments after meeting Julius Euclius and before Petelgeuse Romanee Conti's death. In between those two events, Subaru had a fallout with Emilia and doesn't make up with her until Petelgeuse's defeat. Not to mention that during that time, Subaru's personality was very unstable, very different than in Quartet. You do have a point. However, the saying still goes, "without the past, there is no present". I have been pondering that whatever had occurred in the five or six original series impacted this crossover series. Currently, I do not have the data about Overlord and Saga of Tanya the Evil. I have yet to confirm with the admin about Isekai Quartet occurring after the KonoSuba movie and the Cal Mira Wave in The Rising of the Shield Hero.

In Isekai Quartet's Season 1 Episode 11, Subaru did not look forward to seeing Julius in the field day when the boy uttered, "Ugh, Julius".

Here was how Julius responded, "'Ugh'.  That's how you greet me.  Come now, let us try to conduct ourselves like true knights". Something must had occurred in Re:Zero before this moment in Isekai Quartet and I am in the process of finding out. Later in Season 2 Episode 07, Julius uttered about Subaru, "Perhaps, he's learning what it means to be a knight."

Regarding Petelgeuse Romanee Conti, are you saying that Isekai Quartet occurred before his death? If so, it would make sense because of his appearance in Isekai Quartet's Season 2 Episode 05.

You are right that Subaru's relationship with Emilia had a breakdown before making up with her after Petelgeuse's defeat. Anyway and regardless of which series, what are the chances that Subaru's love towards Emilia was one-sided? The hint came from part of this dialogue in Isekai Quartet's Season 2 Episode 05:

Emilia: Well, okay. I guess it's my duty to gift some to Subaru.

Puck: You're really using your brain there, Lia.

Megumin: Sucks to be Subaru, huh.

Tanya: Appears so.

You are right that Subaru was unstable in Re:Zero; he was also brash and reckless plus occassionally buffoonish. It was possible after ending up in the new world in Isekai Quartet, he lessened those traits. However, Subaru still retain the trait that he was willing to put his life on the line for those whom he cared about.
