I would offer a change/update to your suggestion though... that once she survived and she and Jaime hooked up, when she confronted him as he was leaving, she should have stood on her honor and refused to let him go without a fight.
Her honor as a knight. Who vouched for Ser Jaime. Who saw him swear he was there to help and done with Cersei.
In the fight, he would kill her.
It would cement Jaime’s arc returning to his roots - devoted to Cersei above all else. And it would have been heartbreaking to witness.

Honestly, this is worse than what actually happened.
