The Sorcerers methods might have been barbaric but they didn't have the luxury of computer modelling to test results, they had to be hands on, and for every life of a child lost to their experiments, how many lives have been saved by a Witcher? It is literally stated in _Time of Contempt_ that without Geralt interfering at various points, the history of the continent would have been very different. Take TW3, depending upon your choices, he saves 5 orphans from a grisly fate. Geralt is a single Witcher. Times that by hundreds of Witchers over hundreds of years. It's a cruel world but at least some good came out of the creation of the Witchers.
If alzur was this powerful sorcerer why couldn’t he just stabilize them himself like Yennefer did avallac’h. This should be well within his abilities and would increase the success rate dramatically
Probably because by the time she cured Avallac’h, they'd been making Witchers for ~200 years and had perfected the process. Yennefer wasn't engaging in an experimental therapy, she was following a laid down process.

Has Alzur done the right thing?

Perhaps not right, but perhaps what was brutally necessary in the absence of a better solution
Perhaps
Why couldn't mages just kill the monsters in the beginning?
