It absolves Wanda of some of the fault for enslaving a whole town for days? weeks? and sets up a tutelage under Agatha to better learn how to control her magic.

If I were in the writing room, I would run with this idea of Agatha assisting Wanda with her witchery. Of course, I would argue for any plot that kept Kathryn Hahn in the MCU. For example, I'd like to see her opposite Hiddleston at some point.
Having said that, I'd like to point out that Marvel has always leveraged the concept of the anti-hero and their books are rife with examples. Heroes with personal issues. Heroes with a dark side. Heroes who are actually just normal people with normal problems afflicted with super powers. IMHO, this is the primary distinction between Marvel and DC. With Marvel, it isn't all "Bang! Pow! Schmackkkk!"
For that reason, I like the idea of Wanda becoming a heel. Or, at least going through a heel stage in her development as a character. All the devastation she's caused in the MCU to date has either been due to subterfuge and deception (see; Hydra and Ultron), mistakes and errors, or her inability to fully control her powers.
We now have a chance to see her descend into a purposeful and intentional "badness" and a potential arc in which she eventually finds a way to use her powers for "good".
If that's the plan, her story has an opportunity to mirror any number of Greek tragedies ... and I'm all for it.
