I do agree with you. There is no reason why the phrase should be said  to 
introduce at subjective clause. But I don’t think that we by this reason 
alone are to infer that the phrase are adverbial. Another possible solution 
is to understand it as consecutive i.e. as a hWSTE clause. The meaning would 
then be that the Jews pursued the law in such a way that  works excelled 
over faith. That is “Because of what? Not because they pursued the 
righteousness of the law out of faith but  that they pursued it as to 
produce human efforts.”
