While Anakin would never be able to fully recover from the wounds Obi-Wan inflicted on him, in Rebel care he could have done better.

Anakin could have been reconstructed as a prisoner; of course, the risk there is that he might escape and hurt others.

The thing that makes Obi-Wan such a colossal dick is that he chooses the most painful path for Anakin AND the galaxy

either fulfill your mission or turn traitor for real, but to hesitate and do neither leads to maximal future suffering

that is a subtext in Star Wars, the question of whether one side winning, even the wrong one, is better than more War
