To be honest, we don't need the major plot to be constantly moving forward. It's actually a good thing to slow down and focus on the characters for a bit every once in a while.

The detour to Brunswick Farm had more of a purpose than just padding the story length. It was an event that


 * Caused Weiss, Blake, and Yang to rethink their reservations about continuing to participate in the war against Salem.


 * Led Maria to realize that Ruby has silver eyes, tell her how to use them, and end up being Ruby's silver eye power teacher due to having been one herself.


 * Honestly, caused Ruby to finally stop putting up with bullshit and take charge.

The stuff with Oscar disappearing on everyone led JNR to leave the house and end up finding Pyrrha's memorial, at which point Jaune's conversation with the red-haired woman not only gave him closure for Pyrrha's death but also caused him, Nora, and Ren to end up rethinking their hesitation in participating in the war against Salem. It's also been stated by a CRWBY member that Jaune seeing an Atlas airship flying by above Pyrrha's statue is what gave him the idea for his plan to get to Atlas.
