I might be in minority, but I disagree.
Outside of her tragic trajectory Karlach is a character without much substence - she is a character for whom choices were made, and what she experienced seemingly didn't have much impact on her. It is only when she defeats Gortash and lets it all out, that she finally gets to shine as a character. She is a character who doesn't let bad things she experienced get to her, and I think she would be made poorer if her tragedy was resolved. From the mess that is the ending, Karlach embracing the last, final sacrifice is probably the best beat this game had when it comes to companions. OF COURSE, after all that Karlach would be the one to become tentacle monster and sacrifice whatever she has left to save others.
That Karlach makes good choices, and cares for others in spite of being doomed herself - that is what makes her a truly good character. I just wish game would explore it more indepth earlier - it felt like Karlach was barely there until late into act3.
If there was an option for her to be saved - I think it would need to come at a great cost. Like Karlach selling her values out - I don't know, like send Tieflings to hell to slave under Zariel in exchenge for her life.
