I have recently startet abominations vaults as a GM and have heard other playthroughs have had the problem with ghoul cultists being almost only one encounter. So it seems like a common situation.
It is also referenced in this thread:

With the situation you are in, thejeff, if you feel like the combat would lead to a TPK, you could give the party an option to avoid combat for now. Canker Cultist are primarily cultists, as I read it, and want to further their goals of making a nasty corpse body for Belcorras resurrection - and now there is a lot of corpses laying about and not many ghouls to gather them. Perhaps Nakhazarin will threaten them with a deal: "She will postpone their deaths if they gather up the ghoul corpses and bring them to her".
That could buy the party time and still be "true" to how I have read Nakhazarin - mostly interested in building the statue. Even though it is a tactical blunder on her part.
I hope to hear how you fare - my group has only begun battling mitflits.
