Of those you listed, only Kagha is companion material, though she would need minor alterations to explain why she would willingly leave the grove. You can't talk about imbalance with class and race - arguably a very surface-level aspect for characters like Astarion or Shadowheart, who need not be explicitly (half-)elven - while simultaneously wishing they had included the also-rans who are barely NPCs. Aradin and Anders are literally Human Male Sellswords. BORING. With two very obvious exceptions, I don't think BG3 has an issue with wasted companions, but it obviously could have benefited from correcting the existing imbalance.
