That would not improve the plot, imo. As a race, illithids are parasites that need to destroy the host (body & soul) in order to procreate. The genocide argument doesn't hold when the existence of a race is based on the necessity of complete destruction of others.
Omellum seems to be the only exception, because unlike the emperor, he shows no interest in turning your character (and therefore 'procreating') and actively works to find a solution to counter his nature (requiring brains to survive).
I just don't think the plot can be fixed, i
