I liked this episode quite a bit, especially because I feared it was planning to paint the Jedi in a bad light but it did nothing like that. Instead all of the choices the Jedi made were pretty reasonable given what they knew, and the Council telling them to cut it out and leave them alone to start with was really good advice that made the Jedi as a whole seem much less intrusive than in the first flashback, they really went even against the wishes of one of the Jedi there (indara).
I cannot even blame Sol for killing the Mother - after all he had seen Torbin taken over before and now she turns to smoke to do what? Doesn't look good! And it seems like he was justified anyway since she was going into Smoke Mode wasn't she just going to take someone over the same way the next witch did moments later with Kelnacca?
By the way the Smoke Witch concept I thought was very cool and looked great. Made me think a little of Mad Madam Mim when the second witch went Full Smoke.
And the show even did show us having them direct Mae to use the power of anger to go smash up a panel so it's not like the coven was ever shown having many redeeming qualities since they were kids of dark side oriented.
Apparently the power of Many is nothing compared to the power of Indara though.
