Is anyone else getting tired of having to have their PC's ally with other great evils to defeat a great evil? I mean, I certainly don't mind doing it once and a while but this seems to be a continuing trend here and I'm getting mildly nettled by it.
Are the PC's necessarily allying with the imprisoned siblings? Could be that you're simply using the item's powers without their consent, without actually allying with.
But can a good-aligned character make use of an evil-aligned artifact without experiencing some sort of backlash? Would a Paladin even be able to make use of said artifact? I hope these issues are addressed in the module.

Something of a contest of wills, perhaps? The Pali code does have the 'greater of two evils' clause that'd allow a paladin to use the macguffins...and then destroy them later. I suppose that still falls in the trope you tire of.
Imho, it kind of makes for the argument that alignment can be barriers.

Wait, what? Nick Logue?!? Yay. If I wasn't already subscribed, I'd totally buy this.
Is it possible this module is a re-named version of "Lightning Curse", the long-awaited, long-ago promised sequel to "Obsidian Eye" that (as far as I know) has never appeared anywhere?
Fans of "The Obsidian Eye" have only been waiting for ten years now . . .
