Well the Void isn't really evil as far as we know, or anything for that matters; it works for its own benefit. Creatures from the Void have their own individual purposes, and whether that's down to the Void's design or their own choices is up in the air right now. Cho'Gath stands out among the void's invaders as a creature who actively takes pleasure in tormenting humans, and so while humans might apply things such as evil and malice to his actions he doesn't work by the moral codes and cultural structure humans do, so really he's only evil by human definition.
The problem the Void has always posed has not been in being a force of conflict as in Runeterra and the Void go to war, but rather that the Void actively pushes its way in to Runeterra and is competing with it in a weird way. The Void's energies don't have the most positive effect on Runeterran life, and so exposure to the Void is naturally dangerous for Runeterra, but that doesn't mean the Void and Runeterra have always been in competition like this.
If we assume that the Icathians were the first or one of the first human civilisations to dabble in Void magic then it stands to reason that the Void didn't always connect to Runeterra in the way it does now. I personally view the connection in a manner more akin to the Void bleeding over in to Runeterra, although forces within the Void might have some active goals concerning its new neighbour.
I've long thought that the Void is a physical planet of some kind in a dark universe, and because of this its life has to operate differently to survive, having to constantly cannibalise anything within their universe to keep going, unlike Runeterra where the cycle of life is perpetuated by light from the sun and other factors. It personally makes sense for me if the Void is trying to consume Runeterra physically not out of malicious intent but of a natural need or else that world and all the Voidborn living there will die, and the Voidborn's purposes are all in line with the goal of being able to assimilate in to the environments of other worlds to claim them as territory for the Void to consume.
Long story short the Void's got about as much chance of being evil as it does have being good, and given the nature of the Voidborn we've seen it all works in manners much different to Runeterra, but overall with a focus on working towards the Void's best interests.
