Yeah, that's more directed to the "Tav is totally replaceable, see, because you don't have to resurrect them" crowd. Although, now I'm curious if you could even try the tadpole removal dialogs w/out Tav/the main character. If not, and I'm betting that's the case, then the game's going to come to a screeching halt pretty fast.
I have definitely gotten the eye surgeries with party members and not Tav before (since I didn't want to debuff my main character) I just initiated conversation with a party member I didn't care for instead.

Personally, I'm most curious how the game handles character-specific scenes when party members (such as the MC) are dead. Liek if you fight off the goblins at the gate to the grove, find the dead boar, kill all your party members except asterion, then recruit another one (lets say, Lae'zel) do you still get the bite scene? (with Lae'zel?) Would you still have a dialogue option about how she found the boar (even though she would havve no way of knowing?)

Anyways, I think it would be better to reserve game overs for stuff like the Asterion bite scene and the mindflayer eating your brain. Just have characters revive with 1hp and a debuff until you long rest.

Don't know how to handle stuff like bottomless pits and lava, since obv you can't just stand up from that and in fact your body might even be in an inaccessible place-even Larian I think struggles with that even with how casual it is with resurrection- there's even an npc just for recovering characters who die like that in EA right now!
