No, I think Chuck has set them up all along, for Sam and Dean to do what they are doing. Not as if we weren't warned in Chuck's first episode, "Monster at the End of the Book". The show has been about faith struggles for a long time, How can there be both a good and all powerful God, when there is evil? How the show answers this question finally, we shall see. Perhaps, it is all Chuck's plan for the good, and he looks super bad for purposes of story telling, testing the boys, and strategizing Amara's defeat. Or maybe both he and Amara will be defeated by Sam and Dean. Either way there might be  a reset for friends like Becky, Kevin, Original Bobby, Ellen Etc. to have happy endings (death being rarely unreversible in this show). Writers do bad stuff to their heroes all the time, which doesn't stop them from writing happy endings. Being a writer seems the central part of who Chuck is. For those who like Chuck to be OK whith Sam and Dean killing him (really, or as a Chuck planned retirement), Chuck has to make himself  look  like a really horrible villain.
