In Karlach's case I think we can safely expect them to properly finish the Act 3 portion of her quest they left totally unfinished and give her a more satisfying ending appropriate to completing it. For Minthara it's less clear. They definitely need to finish bugfixing her so that all the stuff Hotfix 5 lied about fixing actually works, and it'd be very nice if they opened up her availability somewhat after everyone who wanted to recruit her already did a buggy mess of a playthrough and don't want to bother again. Restoring a few of the things that were intentionally cut though is less advisable than Karlach's missing stuff for the same reasons that they probably cut it to begin with. Some of that content doesn't have a good place to fit because Act 3 has so little downtime, and with all the extra reactivity they gave her with a Dark Urge it makes it even harder to consider where exactly the cut content would be able to reasonably fit. All her missing Act 2 interactions should work just fine if her recruitment wasn't so strictly limited though.
