1 )Additionally, you assume constraints like distance, movement, and # of participants effects Ren's semblence. There is no evidence of that

2) or that semblence drains aura.

3) Because Jaune has more aura and making him the tank means that somebody with less aura wouldn't have to tank and could focus on another task. 1) But it is perfectly logical. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just abuse it everywhere? Why not make his entire team semi-invisible against the Nuckelavee? If there was no limitation, why did he not abuse it?

2) All Semblances drain Aura. That has been known for years. Where the hell have you been?

3) Except Jaune didn't even bother to use his freaking shield in Volume 1.

Even if we put that fact aside, it's like 73 said. Ren would be doing nothing because he would be using his Semblance on the team. And since V1 Jaune is worthless in terms of offense and defense, making him be the only one the Grimm see, is effectively making him a sacrifice.

"Lots of Aura" only means he can get beaten up for longer before his Aura goes down to 0. But, a Tank needs defense, not taking punches to the face. Having a lot of "HP" is useless if you take the full damage of anything thrown your way.

Nora is overall tough. And Pyrrha actually knows how to use the shield and knows how to evade. So if anyone should be the Tank, either of them is far better than V1 Jaune.

The Tank must survive if they want to be a good Tank. V1 Jaune wouldn't, he has the "HP" but he can barely remember to rise his own shield to minimize damage and thus survive long-enough.
