But he doesnt seem to be the only one with GLARING narrative issues and I am now back to being very upset and almost not wanting to play the game

Honestly? Reject Halsin, reject Mizora, don't bring Astarion (and probably SH) to the brothel and you should be fine. Then it's just the endings left but if you don't want to see Astarion's "good" one just
let him ascend, his power trips are entertaining and his face won't be melting off in the end. And he gets gameplay benefits.
