I don't think it was a huge mistake. And I don't think that Sayaka considers it that either. Re-watch Sayaka's scene in Episode 12 - I think that makes it clear that she really doesn't regret her wish, regardless of what it cost her. That's not to say there isn't still a tragic element here - There is - But the tragic element is not the wish itself. Rather, it's how quickly Sayaka flamed out for various reasons, going back to how she is a flawed heroine (but flawed in a very "normal person" way, rather than in a contrived Achilles Heel way, imo).
The wish itself was in fact a success for the world in general, giving it back an excellent musician, which I think Sayaka eventually concluded was enough, even if she would have preferred a romance for herself on top of it.
