No one said it's impossible. Obviously, injuries are possible. We saw Jaune get cut remember? The point is if healing can make it on time or not. If someone is injured, it would make them slower which would make it harder to reach Jaune so that he can heal them. Not to mention that they would first have to run away from their enemies so they don't finish the job.

Cardin's punch never made it through Jaune's aura. The reason why he was able to leave an injury like that was because Jaune never had his aura activated. It wouldn't make sense to think that after Jaune showed to be capable of surviving fatal blows with his aura activated, now it turns out that something as little as a punch can defeat his aura.

Jaune gives boosts to other peoples healing this would mean they are able to put more effort into conducting more powerful attacks.

Can you explain this further? As far as I know, healing is healing, not a boost. Healing someone means their injuries will be healed, not that their abilities will grow to allow them to deliver more powerful attacks. This is all about if healing is useful or not and it's not because the characters we've seen can survive fatal blows thanks to their auras. Most of the attacks we've seen were killing blows. It wouldn't be an injury, it would kill them so unless his healing semblance brings the death back then there is not point in having one.

Besides, we've seen that Aura can heal people. Jaune had no training with Aura so the only thing he did to heal himself was to activate it. This means that healing is something that comes along with having an Aura which would explain why there are only two characters with scars. And then again, it hasn't been fully explained how they got those scars.

My issue is if it would really be necessary in a show like RWBY where no one gets injured like never. And if it happens, the creators would have to take the time to write an excuse to explain why the character survived an injure and bring Jaune into the picture so that he can show his semblance is useful. And most important, we already saw what his semblance is. What happened in the forest was Jaune completely rejecting the attack. How is that healing?
