I think that if we're comparing Luke to Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan had to face the cave and a version of Luke's ANH ordeal (upheaval of his previous life, loss of a mentor he was much more attached to) all in one. One has to wonder what he'd do if faced with a "Luke, I am your father" kind of moment ;)
And I think that there's more ways of not-succeeding than going completely batshit. Like Not Thinking About It, or perhaps the Balancing Act where you collect enough justifications for your behaviour to convince yourself you have to be on the light side. And then you try to be the perfect Jedi, but you find yourself turning more and more into someone like your master, just as ruthless to others and just as underhanded... :>
I think I've managed to scare my Kenobi-muse just now.
