I'm going to point out that Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous literally has a succubus companion that's considered chaotic neutral, when by the strictest of standards she'd be chaotic evil in a system that places huge emphasis on alignments. Though her major thing is that she's trying to fight her demonic nature and see life like a mortal does, which is apparently a huge deal in that universe.
Though the Pathfinder cRPG's interpretation of alignments from a writing standpoint have actually been pretty sketchy at best too, spawning debates like 'is Nok-Nok actually chaotic evil, or is he only chaotic evil because he's a goblin?'. Because Nok-Nok legit doesn't do or even suggest ANYTHING that would be considered even remotely evil at any point in Kingmaker (the closest thing he does is suggesting that the chieftain of Amiri's tribe is asking to get stabbed, because said chieftain and much of the of the rest of the tribe has a history of being misogynist towards her), when the other Chaotic Evil companion Regongar plays the alignment completely straight. A good chunk of the Kingmaker community sees Nok-Nok as much closer to chaotic neutral or even chaotic good with his character arc.
I think the datamined werewolf companion might be a case of their lycanthropy being a recent development, and their arc might involve either finding a cure for them (by any means necessary, both good or evil) or encouraging them to embrace it, meaning they don't have to start out as an evil companion just because they have werewolf traits. Alignment shifts don't happen overnight. The potential for something like this makes them more intriguing than the good amount of the current cast in my mind, and it's not because they're also a Bard. :P
