It's a good Troi episode, listeners. The premise is insane, but who gives a crap because it serves a good story. And honestly, anyone who can't get over that has decided not to get over it.
Like a lot of TNG's best episodes, there isn't much more to add.
It does lack a 'moral core' because it's all driven by Troi's desire to survive, but if we were to add a moral choice to it, what would that look like?

Is it okay for the Romulans to carry the moral core instead of Troi? If not, the easiest response is that, if Troi's drive to survive is in the way, give her a trilemma between her own survival, the success of the mission, and the survival of peace-friendly sentiments among the regular Romulans.
(Then twenty years later release "Troi Trek II, Wrath of That One Romulan Captain")
Star Trek: X: The Wrath of Toreth would have been better.
