In the Spock-heavy "City on the Edge of Forever" (the only episode I can name), Spock correctly convinces Kirk that there are trade-offs and you can't get everything you want. Also, I think Kirk makes Spock work harder by appealing to his emotions.

shamelessly I once tried to steelman Spock in 'City', and the result was a fic 'Thinking like demented you' on ff.net (hides under the table)
