Light could've done great things without the Death Note as well. No matter how misguided he may have become, he was a genius, no getting around that. He never needed it to do great things. It wasn't a matter of L getting in the way. More like, the Death Note was what was really in the way. I mean, look at him after he relinquised ownership of the Death Note. You could see his opposition to anything wrong. Even something something as small as manipulating a woman's heart. It was the Death Note that deterred him from his original, and righteous self.
