Overall this does seem to be true. Finrod, as mentioned above, is an early example of a Noldor who ended up giving his life for a man, Beren. And in the contrast between Galadriel and Celeborn, Galadriel seems to have developed more sympathy for Men, although she has the further vision as well.
Anyway, I still think the line of Elrond in particular should be able to appreciate the race of Men given the choice that they were given to choose. And I think it is true, since overall it would be hard to imagine a better supporter of the Dunadan over thousands of years than Elrond...
