First. SPOILERS to those who haven't seen the ending.

Honestly, there's just too many paradoxes here and only consequences for half of them. Why couldn't it have just been like this:

-Ashi was born from her mother and an unnamed man (not Aku) (I mean the mother never even touched on this. All we get was Aku randomly remembering "that one time" and filling in the blanks.)

-everything else happens the same until Ashi and Jack vs Aku

-Aku imbues Ashi with darkness to make her fight as he knew Jack won't kill her

-everything else happens the same until Jack tells Ashi he loves her

-Ashi breaks through Aku's control and uses the power Aku gave her to bring herself and Jack back in time.

-After Ashi and Jack kill past Aku Ashi loses these powers but continues to exist.

This would stop it from being such a huge paradox (it still is as Ashi shouldn't have said powers to bring them back in time with past Aku dead and future Jack's self shouldn't exist as he never had the same journey with future Aku not existing) and Jack could've had a happy ending (I'm normally indifferent about whether a series gets a perfect happy ending, but Jack deserved one for god sake!)
