Again, that's a good idea but uses too many assumptions and ignores several important aspects. For example, if Penny has to become a huntress at the end then why Beacon and why JNPR? Wouldn't it make more sense if she became a student in Ironwood's academy in Altas where they can keep an eye on her?

The thing is that assuming Penny has to replace Pyrrha by somehow ending in Beacon because things happened so convenient to her favor is too forced. No matter how you look at it, it will involve her father/creator, Ironwood, the military, the council, Ozpin, JNPR, too many variables. It's too much of a wild guess. It ignores nothing, the theory is that for Atlas this is a slap on the wrist, which means 100% she cannot be re-deployed to Atlas, she is at Beacon currently, not with Atlas. If you take an exotic pet from someone, do you send it back to their home country if it is decided it does not belong there? No, you send it to nearest shelter/preserve/Zoo, and then maybe eventually back into the wild.

Penny has 1 friend at Beacon, she apparently has no friends in Atlas. Ozpin believes in universal human rights and freedom, as the leader of Beacon he can only relocate her to Beacon, not Atlas or Mistral or another school, and if given the choice, it is almost certain Penny would choose Beacon, because her friend is there, and JNPR is the closest room she could get to RWBY. Again. You're assuming everything based on Atlas as a person, not as a kingdom. A slap on the wrist to the army, yeah. But not the kingdom, neither Penny's father. She even said so herself: My father loves me very much. She might be a robot but that doesn't mean she's a piece of junk they can replace. Even her own bodyguards get along with Penny as they do know her father and don't treat her like a thing since one of them danced with her. So just because Ironwood messed up does not mean that the entire kingdom has to answer for his mistake.

Plus the one with his job at stake is Ozpin, not Ironwood. You said if something like Breach happens again but if that's the case then the one paying will be not only Ironwood but also Ozpin who has received a warning from the council already. If his military falls then it will be Atlas' fault, not Penny, not Ironwood. Atlas' fault. So Penny doesn't have to be exiled from her kingdom neither will have to be placed at Ozpin's care. And again: Why Team JNPR? Penny is meant to be stronger than them, to know everything they are still learning so it doesn't make sense Ozpin places Penny in a 1 year student team. If anything, it will make more sense if she's on an older team.
