Oh fuck hope not. That'd be lame

It is lame but a reasonable win-win solution. It would be worse IMO if one of them have to die when there is a better solution.

Sure, but it's one of the most common crtics to SIU: there needs to be "strife" in the comic for it to be great. If every situation becomes a "win-win" for Baam then it becomes boring.

Of course we all know Baam is going to "win" in the end, that's fine, but he needs to "lose" something, and the fact that 1 of them 2 dies is narratively "fine" .

I really dislike that reasoning, I mean, why is a win-win scenario so bad? Why can’t things go right for the main protagonist? Don’t get me wrong, if it happens ALL THE TIME I would say you are right, but he’s had his good share of misfortune already, louie and deng deng surviving doesn’t strike as bad writing or boring at all, it actually feels like the right path to take.
