You're overcomplicating and making it up.
I mean I'm not telling you to agree with me. I know I'm being very critical of it, but I get more out of the media I consume this way. I certainly didn't make anything about it up either, that's just us disagreeing about the nature of the content.
I’m just not sure if this can be considered as “taking advantage” of her when you’re both clueless af and could die at any moment.
This depends on what your character knows going into it. I almost never avoid learning that True Souls are clueless cuz I usually put off the Goblin camp stuff quite a bit. Having that knowledge makes it very exploitative in my eyes because your character is then actively choosing to indulge in what is clearly her only moment of clarity instead of taking the opportunity to talk her down. It feeds even further into the problems with the artifact's narrative inconsistency around her cuz the whole thing would play out better and be less messed if it was working and she had her right mind for more of your Act 1 interactions. But then given her values when she has her senses the assault as it currently happens wouldn't make as much sense. The way they contrived things to keep her exclusive is kinda just an actual mess on top of the bad moral implications of going for that sex scene.
