If you're taking issue with the self-preservation angle, I don't think we disagree.
I see Lawful alignments as being about hierarchies that preserve larger groups above individual interest, and the difference between Lawful Good and Lawful Evil being about how those hierarchies are formed and enforced. The Gith are a highly militarized society with divinely enforced lines of authority, which is why Lae'zel isn't about to sign up with the Absolute without serious cause (and why our encounter with the kithrak is so fraught narratively)
But for any Joe Tyrant to come along what exactly does the goblin horde really have to offer? What group is Tav a part of that he's willing to sacrifice himself to preserve it. For Lae'zel sacrificing herself is on the table because she values her people's safety and strictures as paramount, but for any Lawful Evil character on their own, I would assume you're at the top of the pyramid, until you're forced to submit into the hierarchy of a stronger group. Is that something that happens in the EA, are we submitting to the tadpole and it's visions? Maybe.
In short the Lawful Evil option is siding with Kagha :p
