"either the more aggressive half has a corresponding balancing effect, pushing the other troll when they're too passive"
Looking at Feferi<>Eridan, Eridan doesn't really encourage Feferi to be violent, he just does the murders for her. Maybe his support should have been more emotional, though given how they're described to begin with I would've thought they had at least the appearance of being a healthy pairing.
"A major criticism of moirail pairs is that the relationship puts all the burden on one side of the pairing, but none of the trolls involve seem to feel that way."
I guess that's true for Equius<>Nepeta. I've always thought that was a weird one, because Nepeta's actually quite violent herself, though without really getting angry about it. But maybe that in itself is a sign of a healthy moiralleigiance?
