Yes! I really love this idea, I wish this had been an option!
Thank you. It makes absolutely no sense to me that our party is so little involved during the end. If I'm not mistaken, only Karlach and Lae'zel offer some input. If you decide to become a mind flayer, or have Karlach become one (which is a another can of worms), there's hardly any response. I just wish our band of misfits would be able to solve this without anyone becoming an Illithid.
