I really think they just overplayed their hand, and he really did overdose by accident - or because he thought it was the only way for Moll to get away. I don’t believe either of them are basing a strategem on the Progenitor tech actually being able to resurrect him, but Moll is desperate now, so she’s willing to believe it might work because it’s the only hope she has left.
They have gone out of their way to portray L’ak as a doofus (and writer Carlos Cisco even gave an interview where he suggested that Breen are dumber in their fleshy form), so you may be right.
