Fair point, I agree with a lot of what you said.
At the very least, there should be an option for Tav to be ace and have a purely emotionally intimate relationship.
I don't know that it makes 100% sense with Astarion just given that, as you pointed out, there would likely be a future where he needs confident and comfortable sex but, they have a plethora of other characters that could benefit from this.
And that's not to say I think that, if you could identify as ace, that you can't romance Astarion. It's just that so much of his romance is centered around his trauma around sex that the non-sexual intimacy might not come up enough even though it should.
But like I said, I think Halsin would be a natural option. I think Karlach and Wyll would be great too. Karlach has some sexual trauma as well but she seems completely content having a purely emotional connection. I know Wyll kind of sucks (I legit find him so boring) but there should be enough emotionally fulfilling moments with him to really establish a good ace relationship.
