I don't think it that this 'if' is an 'iff', but how would the 'iff' lead to an infinite regress? Maybe I'm interpreting the quote differently. Do you think Dirac is talking about helping other people when he talks about making progress?

Living is worthwhile for me even though I don’t think I’ll be making any contribution, even in any small way, to progress. For a start I’m not a professional scientist.

If you trade your labour/effort/attention for something of value, you are contributing to progress. Your trading partner is happy to exchange because you help them achieve something more easily than they would otherwise. That little transaction represents progress.
