The morale boost evaporated once they lost more territory to Russia in the east.
Your second point doesn't make any sense. The U.S. hasn't given that permission yet, to use U.S. weapons inside Russia. It may happen in future, but as of now hasn't, thus the Kursk offensive didn't "achieve" that.
Ukraine deployed a *lot* of awesome troops and materiel to Kursk that could have been better spent elsewhere, in the hopes that the Russians would divert their troops from Eastern Ukraine to deal with the guys in Kursk. Putin didn't fall for it and didn't take the bait, therefore Kursk didn't achieve shit beyond a momentary "we're awesome!" feeling among Ukrainian troops, and the cost of it was Russia more-easily taking the territory in the east.
It's truly that simple. Zelensky made a gamble, one not all of his generals and intel people supported, and it didn't pay off.
