His father was a Jedi that turned due to his love for his wife with influence/manipulation from a powerful sith lord
What would be the reason for Luke to turn after he converted his father back to the light and defeated said sith lord?
Having the main character that brought one of the main villains(his father) back to the light turn to the dark side would clearly be a twist
Who would be the one to train the new main characters Finn and/or Rey?
Would the story be stronger if Luke was the villain and some random no name jedi that no one knows of came to train the new main characters or would it be better if Luke, the jedi that defeated the emperor, train the main characters?
Remember that there are sith so there has to be jedi
Who would train the new jedi to defeat the empire if not Luke?
It would indeed be blasphemy to have Luke be the definitive 'villain' of this movie by turning to the backside of the force. To do that appropriately, they would have needed another whole movie of story on how he got seduced.
That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if they pulled that because they are already in blasphemy territory. The Zahn Trilogy is canon. Any deviation from that, especially the absence of Adm Thrawn, means they have already gone off the deep end.
