I completely agree that the protagonist is bland, but I think that's because the point of Solaris isn't its characters. They are mostly functions that are only there to convey Lem's thoughts and sentiments regarding this topic or another. And honestly, I don't get the "this character is not rounded, so it's a bad character" criticism, because almost none of Lem's characters are "rounded" - that's just the way he writes; his heroes are really not the most important part of his works (except maybe Ijon Tichy, and that does depend on the story).

This writing technique is obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but it's not inherently "good" or "bad".
