No, instead we offered him a 'third way' that proved to be quite anime indeed. I've still yet to hear a reason why this story that so much resembles other tales we've witnessed prior (the Void Arc, the Ultima Thule Allies quests, Shadowbringers itself) is so devoid of the WoL's prior displayed empathy. Dawntrail's ending honestly made me feel like my WoL was a psychopath.
The problem is how many plot holes surround sphene. Take the part of tural that got absorbed by the barrier, why does sphene welcome them and make them into alexandrian citizens creating more endless for herself when she could have forcibly harvested them to power the endless like she planned for the rest of tural

The lack of “looking for an alternative solutions” is built on sphenes lack of agency given her programming, but then they aren’t even consistent with it
