I agree. Spawn Astarion already has much less content than AA, so Larian should add to Spawn Astarion first to even things out before adding anything else to AA.
I definitely think there are some room for improvement for the Spawn romance path, one thing that definitely feels out of place is being romanced to him and not reacting to his character burning and having to run away. I was excited hearing about the better companion reactions to the dock scene but it looks like you only see the companions have more sympathetic reactions? You don't have any reaction at all from your player character which feels weird. I think the dock scene is a bit complicated though because you have so much going on with all the characters, especially with Karlach. I'm not sure what the best way would be to have your character run after him whilst also dealing with the other companions.

I know there is a mod on Nexus that reverts the AA kisses back to the patch 6 expressions, I'm not sure if a console version exists, though.

Although he may show some possessive traits, he's also immortal (and so is your character) so I think a lot of him allowing your character to leave with Karlach is him being patient in the fact that you both have an eternity together. Based on the conversation, he doesn't see you as being "gone forever", but will eventually return back to his side to rule together.
