I would never kill the many for the mistakes of the few.Even if some templars are not innocent and they've treated mages terrible, that doesn't mean that they would become the abominations the red templars are.
What if you come across a templar unit you know absolutely is using red lyrium. They're doing something useful-- guarding a town, hunting blood mages, or something else, etc. They aren't savage, but they aren't completely sane either, and you know that once someone begins taking red lyrium a descent into madness is an inevitability i.e. Bartrand. Would your inquisitor take the same actions you described, possibly waste a lot of resources, or kill them on the spot?
Red lyrium is very dangerous. The templar could go berserk at any moment even if he has noble intentions. He would get the benefit of doubt and be asked to come under The Inquisition custody and discard all the red lyrium he owns. Maximum 3 warnings. If he doesn't cooperates then force intervention. If the soldiers feel that he will become hostile and attack them or anyone else, they should attack and try immobilize him and, if it comes to it, kill him no matter if he got the required number of warnings or not.
If he cooperates, he will get the same treatment, but probably he'll be cut from any lyrium source from the start to clean himself from the red lyrium. If he becomes hostile and is unable to be restrained and taken by force into custody, then I think it's obvious that the soldiers will have to apply the rule regarding conserving their own lives and kill him.
The settlement would get a small dispace of soldiers to take his place. I think that 3 or 4 soldiers are enough to take the place of one templar.
After some cleansing he'll get the blue lyrium treatement, then interrogation. He cooperates - everything is ok, he might get a second chance.
If he continues to be hostile and proves to be a danger for people, normal or mages, he will be executed by The Inquisitor.
If the Inquisitor is not able to carry the sentence, he will be kept until he's able to and, if the situation of the world makes it impossible for The Inquisitor to make the execution, a tasteles poison that preferably acts very fast will be placed in his food.
