I feel it would be remiss in this dicussion not to point out that at least one major media version of LOTR made it very clear that orcs may be redeeemable. If you watch the Cartoon ROTK ( the old rankin bass one you will notcie that duirng one of the songs while Frodo is sitting in his garden smoking (in a post ring-destruction world) you see two orcs stopping by the gate and it is clear in the scene that they are simply travelers in a work now peacful (I think they even smile a little) Grandted this is just supposed to be one of Frodo's fever dreams but it seems to me that the writers are making it clear that in Frodo's mind a peaceful orcs are possible.
