For the dock scene, I think if the player runs after Astarion, then Wyll can choose to go with Karlach to Avernus if he's Blade of Avernus. He already choose it by himself now, if I recall. So Larian could just keep his agency there. That or Larian could push Astarion's scene to be after Karlach's. It stretches believability, but it's already hard to believe that all of these scenes are playing one after another on the docks. I think we could stretch believability a little more for one of the most requested changes by Spawn Astarion fans.

It's great that there's a mod, but yes, it isn't on console. And there was a happy expression mod already, but people still asked for happy faces in the game. Similarly, I want the old faces officially restored as an option.

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.
I personally think AA turns Tav/Durge because he's afraid to lose them, so letting them leave with Karlach would bring that fear up again in him. What if Tav/Durge just never returned? He could lose his favorite person. But I see where your interpretation is coming from.
