I think Luke’s temptation is there to show that you never stop needing to resist the dark side, no matter who you are. And Leia’s decision to give up on Ben boils down to a Wrath of Khan style equation about personal needs vs. the greater good. She gives up on Ben because he’s going to burn the galaxy down. It’s a counterpoint to ROTJ’s message to be sure, but depending on how IX goes I don’t think it necessarily undermines it.
