Sentry Illia is built more like a SpecOp fighter so yes she is better at close to close/mid-range combat and that Role is filled by Li Ren in Team JN(P)R. Her weapon unlike Pyrrha's has no long range componate  to complement Nora's Magnhild. So there again a no fit. Jaune is now the Tank of JN(P)R and is nicely growing into that role. Illia is most likely going to follow Blake as she returns to Team RWBY and with how things are looking right now I don't see Qrow or Ozpin/Oscar  breaking up the group as every one other then Qrow needs more tutalge and training to be a real threat to Salem or her forces.
