I play Seldarine as well, odd how few actual calls to it are, the poisened gnome and Zevlor being more or less the only ones I can remember.
Its actually quite easy to still get the non araj dialogue. I managed it early in Act 2 as well by
only releasing the prisoners and not exploring Moonrise and then doing the Gauntlet and Raphaels little murder hobo thing and exiting the temple at that point and continuing on to do other Act2 exploring and quests with a couple of long rests. It triggered on the 2nd long rest at the 'Go to Bed'. All the rest of the Moonrise stuff is still available as you haven't triggered them,
so I did that afterwards.

Just a shame you have to kinda know what you're doing to get it that way round though, as another poster said the Araj dialogue feels more transactional than the other one, which is more like hes been mulling over what has happened and comes to a few realisations he didn't have before, instead of a 'thank you' for a specific thing. Of course they are both transactional in a way but one feels much less so.
My first 2 playthroughs that convo was still the default first one with the Araj being the fall back if you'd someohow messed it up - and I loved it.
