There is a way to perfect your routine, by using Portal magic in the Moonrise tower, making Minthara's quest line continuable and bug free. There is even a video walkthrough for it explaining what to do step by step. But unfortunately it's in Mandarin, and I don't know if it is OK to post URL in this site, so I just leave it here.
That's pretty much what I said a few pages back, the only difference is I happened to do this by luck, but I still had a bugged Karlach tho.
Damn, I never thought Karlach would be the problem, as long as the blacksmith survived. Let me do more tests.

bugged when ? i'm at moonrise tower atm , got Karlach second upgrade at last inn too , not found any bug yet
On my first save game, out of curiosity I spawned Minthara in(because Z's CT had this script in, I just wanted to press it lol), from pure luck, I did pretty much 90% of what you did, the remaining 10% is I left her at camp until I cleared underdark and went back up mountain rise for Act 2.
Just before going into Act 2, I went all the way back to get Karlach, but left her in camp, then in Act 2, saw Dammon, then remembered Karlach needs her heart fixed, but at this point Karlach is bugged, I can't get her to join my party, she only stays in camp, but I can still get her infernal heart quest done, I'm in Act 3, saw Dammon again, did second Karlach heart quest, but still not able to bring her out.
So I'm guessing there's a quest path that needs to be followed, or some might end up like me with a bugged Karlach.
A couple page back I did a update using a new game, spawned Minthara and recruited Karlach, but I kept them both in my party, so far they both work fine, but I haven't tried going further in the game to see if there's going to be problem.
EDIT
I'm pretty sure spawning Minthara at such early stage will throw some quest line out, because in my game Halsin left in Act 2, but I remember reading from somewhere Halsin could be recruited if you follow certain quest line.
I'm gonna blitz through my game first, then going to start again to see if it's possible to get every companion working, maybe a mod will come out by then so I won't need to do everything again, lol
You might not have the same bugs as me, as I never had Minthara or Karlach in party throughout Act 1, with Karlach infernal heart, I completely missed the chance to have the first upgrade done in the Grove, so the first upgrade had to be from Last Light Inn, and second upgrade in Baldur's Gate.
Also in my game spawning Minthara so early and me just blitzing through the game, I must've missed some quest lines, because at the end of Act 2 Halsin left my camp, I never got to use him.
I had tried looking at flags, but it's gone completely over my head, maybe this can be fixed, or maybe have to start again, not sure.
And I looked at the step by step guide from a chinese website on how to legit recruit Minthara, the way they explained seems logical, it seems like they found a bug in game and exploited it, if what they say is true, then spawning Minthara is not the best way to get everyone useable.
