Yes, Chuck perceives the issue as real, but he is still wrong in his assumption. As most have stated: Chuck will be the cause of turning Jimmy into Saul.

Huh?
You may think Chunk thinks the way he thinks for the wrong reasons, but he absolutely got to the right answer.
Jimmy
is a fraud. The fake billboard incident, the kids jumping in front of the car, blatantly violating Bar rules on solicitation, the shadyness with robbing the Kettlemans (not to mention not reporting their whereabouts), going back to scamming in his hometown as soon as he gets frustrated in Albuquerque.
Jimmy's a crook - he's always been a crook. He may be a likeable crook, but Chuck didn't send him down a path of being corrupt.
Chuck isn't wrong in his assumptions of Jimmy at all. Jimmy's a guy that would absolutely bring HHM under serious fire and with a firm that big, all it takes is a little blood in the water before partners start getting poached, class actions suits start flying and the thing implodes.
