A Kylo redemption could work, if their was a better plan for it. Mind you into retrospect Vader's redemption might only work within the context of IV-VI, so I never really saw him 'unredeemable' at least by in-universe or Jedi standards at best. I mean after all Vader helped make the Empire and all of its horrific abuses possible, and I'd still give him shit for failing to act sooner if the new comics are anything to go by. Kylo just seems to be there, and really outside of the First Order inner workings despite his power.
If we're trying to approach a Snoke-Kylo problem then, I feel you could keep both of them as villains and maybe redeem Klyo if you change up the plot. I'm ambivalent towards Snoke, because I feel he's an embodiment of one perhaps the fatal flaw in Star Wars, everything setup in the OT is always brought back into new media to make it recognizably Star Wars. In this case Snoke plays the Dark Side Chessmaster behind everything, also played by Palps, Kreia, Vitiate, and Kryat. I admit I'm probably more spit-balling ideas I posted in the fan fic thread, so here goes.
Make earlier and more significant tension between Snoke and Kylo, be it different M.O's, maybe have Snoke's control not be ironclad over the First Order, perhaps draw Kylo into an alliance with disaffected elements. Also Snoke isn't a Palpatine Clone, even if Palps is still alive, Snoke is very behind the first for his own unclear reasons. The tension could spill into an all out civil war with the Order, but to make them still a threat you give them different but effective means even if it boils down to Snoke's plans hinge on the Dark Side and causing suffering for it's own sake, while Kylo might just be out for galactic conquest.
Depending on how you work with that, then you could set up a decent redemption arc.
