I tend to prefer "healthy" ships as well. But you're kind of conflating "toxic" with "badly written" and/or "poorly developed" and I disagree with that. I could toss out a dozen examples, but off the top of my head: Kara/Lee from BSG. IMO a very well developed, well-written relationship, that was also kind of toxic. Not balls-to-the-wall toxic. But not healthy.

Hannibal/Will was eighty-out-of-ten level toxic, but it was also a well written, well developed ship.

Hell, as much as I loathe (LOATHE) Rachel/Ross...I wouldn't necessarily argue the pairing was badly written. It was badly written for my tastes, because I was not interested in their toxic bullshit one little bit. But it was a long, gradually developing canonical relationship between well-defined characters, and it had a dynamic that you recognized and understood. (I hate to say a single good thing about Rachel/Ross, but there it is.)
