I absolutely felt like what they did to the businessman whose name I forget was also extremely problematic, and for a while there, I really despised everyone on that team for taking part in it. (That was during the staged kidnapping part.)
I definitely felt like the movie was presenting them as Not Nice Things to Do, which was good, but there wasn't that feeling of 'awww, poor Cobb' about his admittedly shifty work. I felt like, after the admission of what he did with his wife, we're supposed to go: "Awww, Cobb, it's not your fault, you have to let go, it's just a mistake." When, to be honest, I was perfectly happy with him staying stuck in his subconscious with his dead wife.
Meanwhile, I didn't see that interpretation of Moll's killing Ariadne, but I like that idea very much. I wish that talk in the trashed apartment room had gone on for a bit longer, or that they'd thrown in another opportunity for Ariadne and Moll to have a chat. Part of this is because I LOVE MOLL'S ACTRESS, admittedly.
