There is a minute possibility that Pyrrha might return, but it is a ridiculously slim chance. The writers got all torn up about her death after production of the volume was complete. That's a very strong piece of evidence that she will stay dead. I wouldn't call Penny's chances "slim", there are numerous advantages to bringing her back(and moral implications) yet virtually no drawbacks. (as proving you can ressurect a robot is different from similarly bringing back a person) very little of Penny was known to be organic in the first place, so all they need to do is reassemble her and then figure out whether her aura is the same, different, or completely replaced.

Pyrrha was overkilled and human, there also aren't many narrative reasons to bring Pyrrha back in the first place beyond "just cause" and "Arkos".

She was a "boring" character. I don't mean that I dislike her, or that she wasn't interesting. I just mean that she killed most of the drama. The only real questions she gave us were "will Jaune get a clue?", and "Why didn't Pyrrha take care of that?".
