It's all about character writing and tropes. There is a cliché but very valid storyline where Jaune's inner badass needs to be unlocked by a personal tragedy. The way that Pyrrha was practically thrust at him give me, at least, a strong vibe that she's being set up as the vector by which this happens.

You can kill off main characters too, if you dare. Of course, they don't actually have to kill anyone for that to happen. A seemingly fatal injury that then gets better works just as well and has the benefit of not eliminating any beloved characters. Still, I think the way he took command of the situation in Players and Pieces is a good indicator that he doesn't really need some tragic event.

Also, I agree with your thoughts. Fatal injuries that can heal are way better than outright death. Plus, maybe there is a character who could actually move their soul outside of their body when they are in a comatose state. Jaune and Ruby are my prime candidates, with Nora as a backup. Finally, I would only see anyone dying in a Battle of Thermopylae style fight, where everyone dies in a heroic last stand. Just seems cool that way.
