I think it would work great after attempting the first breakup in the AA route. Any of the explicitly very negative paths will do. At this point, the romance is ripe enough for that kind of path, though I stand by my general criticism of the game -- most expressions are overplayed.

In total, if you break up with a vampire because you think he has become a monster... yeah, you're probably afraid playing as Tav, though the faces still need polish.

After a breakup, there are no more kisses. Or are you saying they should add kisses that the PC doesn't ask for.
No, I'm saying they work fine for a route where Tav attempts something as severe as some of the statements in the breakup dialogue, whether they finally break up over it, get back together, whatever choices added. I can very much see a path for a toxic romance here where Tav feels unsettled, but can't let go of Astarion, all while believing he has become a monster. *That* is the source of the fear. It would be an interesting path, an opportunity for actual well written tragedy. How far Larian would want to go in branching out paths would be their choice. I don't have *expectations* they'll add more than the reportedly neutral expressions in patch 7, to be clear, but I do think it would be nice. There are not a lot of tragic romances in media. I'm always sad to see something sanitized for a wider audience.
