Probably not. At this stage in the show, he’d escape using the Force, and they’d have to spend the rest of the episode/film tracking him down or running away until they develop the technobabble device. The show wouldn’t end with him in the brig, though; he’d be exploded, or marooned, or something depending on the series. Maybe the brig in DS9, but in any other series, the brig is just a plot piece for the villain to escape from.
I feel like somewhere they would offer to fix his shitty mechanical body, or at least ease his pain. Maybe even restore his original body? Then they would deus ex machina him into being good or at least not as evil. Maybe a little holodeck padme action at the end? A little feel good fluff at the end?
If they could do that wouldn’t they have fixed Christopher Pike?
Thinking back, it’s very inconsistent. Kirk, Spock and McCoy get plasma burns, brain removed, shot in the chest, stabbed. All fixed by the end of the episode.
It depends on if they knew about Vader’s power. If they did then insert technobable dampening field that negates it. If not they’re fucked.

That’s a really good point actually. You’re 100% right this shot is definitely part way though act 1.
Lower decks would put him next to peanut butter.

Meanwhile Pike still only goes beep.
Definitely a TNG solution.
By “they” you mean several red shirts die.
