But the utterly bleak outcome of the tale of Hurin seems to imply that hope = hubris.

I don't think that's what it represents. Hope and hubris are two different things. I suppose that excessive hope could lead to hubris, but I don't think that the story is intended to imply that hope=hubris. I don't really think that the Tale of Hurin deals with hope in that particular way.

Or is the tale intended as a contrast to the hope inherent in the line of Hurin's brother Huor?

Possibly.
