I like the idea, it could also make up for a nice DLC or additional content. If they add such an ending, they would need to also give a conclusion to it, because otherwise it would feel unfulfilling to have an open end, if you know what I mean.

If you romance Astarion, looking for a cure with him is one of the possible endings. By the time of the party you haven't found one, but have been happily adventuring through the world. I felt that was a nice open ending because it implies that the cure was not so important after all and you found joy in what you did anyway. With Karlach it might be a bit different but Astarion doesn't have to sit around and wait for others to help him, he could simply adventure along.
