Also Blake could interact with Ironwood and Oz and tell them all she knows of WF's MOs and any of their future plans. But Blake doesn't trust authority figures, that was made apparent after her meeting with Ozpin. So she, being a former terrorist, has no reason to interact with them, especially Ironwood. Imagine if he found out Blake was affiliated with the White Fang, he'd have her arrested in no time flat, he's not as lenient as Ozpin, considering his position he can't afford to be. So Blake would definitely keep his distance from him, fearing what might happen if he learns the truth about her.

As for defending the town, it wouldn't be the same since it's not their town and school being attacked. And they wouldn't know the White Fang had circumvented them until it was too late, leading to the deaths of more students and possibly a few teachers as well. And since Jaune wouldn't know Team RWBY, he couldn't contact them to save Pyrrha, thus Cinder would be free to complete her plans for Vale virtually unchallenged, for Ruby wouldn't be there to stop her. In short, it would've been much worse had Team RWBY not been based in Beacon. Evil might've won completely if that was the case.
