It does seem rather too easy... but you kind of have to consider Cinders goals are unknown, and there actually was a psychological effect, Ozpin got canned as head of security while the one who is now in charge favors the use of mechs and robots that have been shown to be stolen by the bad guys so far(as well as whatever virus Cinder planted causing them to likely be compromised).

The Grimm are likewise a slow-moving zombie-like threat, they were never supposed to do much damage with the first wave, all the first wave through the gap had to do was sow terror and penetrate the city to attract more and more grim deeper and deeper into the city, not to mention all the white fang muscle that never got to the fight in the first place would have caused more death and destruction to attract even more Grimm, had the tunnel gone as far as it was going to go 2 days from the breach the actual blast wave would have probably done even more damage(if they didn't just blast a path through and drive what was left of the train right through the city)'

as it was, I wouldn't be surprised if more WF died and distracted more grimm in the tunnel from actually entering the city
