Winter is responsible for the supposed destruction you are describing; not fall.

Remnant's seasons are distinct for the same reason the seasons on literally any planet change; it rotates and moves around its star at an angle causing differents parts to receive different amounts of light.

You are still assuming the maidens have unique powers in addition to shared abilities, when we have no reason to think this whatsoever. They are destructive in nature. Do you ever see things like pollination happen in the fall? They only vital natural process that doesn't stop in fall is decomposition from all of the newly dead organic matter.

"Autumn, especially in poetry, has often been associated with melancholia  The possibilities of summer are gone, and the chill of winter is on the horizon. Skies turn grey, the amount of usable daylight drops rapidly, and many people turn inward, both physically and mentally.   It has been referred to as an unhealthy season."

The axial tilt is likely but it isn't confirmed. We can assume that from our world but for all we know the seasons either didn't exist before the maidens (hence them bearing the original maiden's names coincidentaly) or the Wizard create the seasons and passed on their responcibilites onto the maidens. Remember this is a world with magical energy crystals, uper powers, and essentially shadow demons. It isn't one to adhear to our current understanding.

You are still assuming that they don't. We haven't seen enough of the maidens on-screen, least of all the Spring Maiden, to truly determine whether each maiden has unique powers in addition to their elemental powers or not. We only see Cinder using fire and we see Amber making storms and changing the colour of leaves, however we don't know if all maidens can do this or if just the Fall Maiden can chage leaf colours.

But for the sake of debating the rest of the theory let's just assume that for the context of a debate the Spring Maiden could heal Qrow. If that's the case then how does the other 75-80% of the theory hold up?
