<upd_detl>The original, quite limited weblio reference was:
何を壮とする

Some kind of target introduced by を　or は would seem to be required.

This is reflected in the original entries here:
研究社 新和英中辞典での「壮」の英訳
https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E5%A3%AE
壮とする
admire 《somebody's courage》
approve of 《somebody's noble enterprise》.

Hard to find examples in the wild, quite rare.

Changed "ambition" (which is a character trait) to "ambitions", which are particular plans. 　This is also reflected in "approve of 《somebody's noble enterprise》" (which I rather like, but wouldn't feel right to copy).  This seems to be a clear translation of 志を勇ましいとみとめる, where 認める has a rather large variety of nuances when translated to English.　I think that rather than 認める = "approve", that it's probably more like "acknowledge/recognize".  "To recognize the bravery/courage/gallantry of a persons aims..." or something like that.</upd_detl>
