Canonically, nope, necromancer is capital E evil because of metaphysical elements.
Tl;dr Basically it's just slavery... You just don't care about those kinds of souls.
Bigot. All Souls Matter.
With a side dash of bioweapon design because if the necromancer loses control they go on a killing rampage, hating all living things (partly jealousy, partly a living hell of being trapped in a decomposed body, partly the It's Fucking Slavery thing)
That said, it's your table, metaphysics are what you say they are, but if you're not thinking about the implications of the souls involved in a game like DnD you're not paying enough attention.
I know some DMs just treat it like a PC revival, assuming that the souls that respond are willing or the spell would fail... And then one of them does secret rolls for why they were willing.
