As for Karlach and [TAVNAME], returning to Avernus made the love between them burn ever brighter in the face of the perilous nature of the Asmodean Underworld. The couple would stir enough trouble that their names would reach the ears of even the higher circles of devil society. In their search for a cure for Karlach's condition, many dangers would need to be toppled and impressive feats would need to be performed, but with a commitment to each other that transcended even the very planes of existence, that wouldn't stop them.

But that, as the saying goes, is a tale for another time...

Put a static image of Karlach and some music in the background and presto, you have a follow-through on the ending we got.

Definitely, in general I think the game suffers from any kind of epilogue or cRPG classic endslides like Pillars of Eternity, Fallout, etc. Seeing Tav and Karlach living it up, doomslaying or being romantic in Hope's House of Hope, should you complete that quest that way, would've been endlessly more satisfying that what we got of the implied "canon" ending for her (happens when you play as her, for example). While I believe the entire questline needs work, or simply a fix within Act 3 regarding the Foundry and the Gondians (who could clearly solve the issue), fixing that ending is a solution that should be on the table.
