I don't think they have much of a choice in dealing with her. She was more powerful then they realized, so they couldn't just let her go. This wasn't like Sunset Shimmer, the mane 6 had to discuss what to do with her and find whats best first. They just didn't hand it to her, they considered it and then handed it to her. If they didn't redeem her, she'd be left on the cold and nothing would change, it would be a matter of time before she got another idea.

By keeping her also as a friend, they'll be able to keep an eye on her. You know... "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer".
