Given what happens when Hydaelyns tempered execute her imperatives... this won't end well.

I don't think it's ever been implied that anyone's broken out of the tempered state before, it's always talked about as a terminal condition.
Could they go the route of us being tempered? Of course they could. Does it make sense with everything we know right now? No not really. We already have WoLs of the past that outright betrayed Hydealyn. We had Ardbert who raised his axe against the word of the mother and we have Hydealyns view through the song of answers. If she is tempering us then our tempering is really quite similiar to free will.

Also lets not forget that the Ascians are 100% tempered.
