Murphy isn't the only source of conscience for Harry, there is Michael. Going by the last book he made more sense than she did. I think if she survives the next two books she will survive the series, however to quote a wonderful old movie called "Dodsworth," as "the old wife of a young husband.." Or old girlfriend to a wizard just hitting his prime.. Murphy is also out of her depth here, her thought process is too narrow, she still thinks like a cop. She dismisses the scene between Harry and Eb as normal family dynamics, to an extent it is, but with wizards and what happened in Harry's history, it isn't.

To be fair, I don't think 'go kick the other knight' is a common order; it's tantamount to a declaration of war between the courts.
STOP the other knight, though? That works, even if it's often lethal.

I was speaking metaphorically, but when one Knight goes to stop another it is more than waving a finger and saying,"tut, tut, don't do that."

Doesn't Harry have the real Shroud right now, squirreled away somewhere? Wasn't healing one of its supposed powers, back when we first met Nic?
Now I'm wondering if wrapping Murphy up in it is the funeral Butcher mentioned writing.
Walter the skull:
Murphy may end up continuing to live with her injuries. It happened to Micheal. It would cause more emotional pain for Harry since he would end up seeing her suffer through recovery and set backs just a like anyone else. People do end up regaining more function than doctors estimated from time to time. If you think about it, as a doctor, its probably better to low ball the recovery estimate, to keep the patient from having false hope.
Also at the end of Skin Game, didn't original doctor giver he a better prognosis? I think Harry told Micheal that the doctor said she could get back to 90%.
She might make out ok enough to be more than functional.
Lastly, Murphy won't make any deals to heal herself, but I think that depending on what the offer is, Harry might take a deal to make her better.

I've mentioned the Shroud as an option, I don't understand why Harry did not mention it.
