Not necessarily. Moral wise, I will concede Someone is right, she is a tad loonier than Adam. Action wise, her worst action was stabbing Sun. So the action end of Redemption should be easier. Sun is pretty easygoing, so I could see him getting a few punches or whacks with Ryu-Bang + Jingu+Bang  in on her and calling it even. Moral wise is the tricky part. To truly redeem herself moral wise, she would need to first leave the White Fang. She doesn't need to outright abandon her disgust with humans, as there is some warrant behind it. She does however need to leave the WF.

And what can do that? Blake. Blake we know is someone Ilia cares for, enough to refuse to attack her and attempt to save her from what the WF are doing by urging her to flee. If her care for Blake can outweight her hatred of humanity, then she can make progress. She won't abandon her hatred, but she would need to be convinced her friendship with Blake matters more to her. Their is no way her hatred of humans will be cured overnight, that would be crappy writing (Which I can't help but fear sometimes), but it can be controlled. If, say, she did defect for Blake and they went to Haven, Ilia could lessen her hate by meeting humans that actually are good people, such as RNJRW(B)Y.

Think of it like a reverse Weiss. Weiss hated Faunus after the White Fangs attacks on SDC, which in turn contributed to Jacques being a prick to her. While it was poorly executed, even though Blake was a Faunus she still cared for Blake, and soon that behavior transferred to other Faunus she knew. Yes, the number is few and in between, but there are two she had better relationships with: Sun and Velvet. Sun she still saw as a juvenille for the most part, but still was able to hold a conversation with him. Velvet she did show concern for when CFVY came back late, in contrast to the "apathy" to her bullying at the hands of Cardin, and it was Velvet being attacked by the Paladin that spurned her into summoning forth the Knight's Arm. If Ilia can meet humans that dissuade her notions of them like Weiss met Faunus that didn't fit her prejudice, Ilia would be able to slowly let go of hating humans in General.
