FWIW, I think that Pyrrha's death wasn't just to prove 'anyone can die'. I suspect that it was a plotted our and specific fulcrum in the development of the story and one that was trailered as far back as The Emerald Forest, when Pyrrha prophetically stated that it was by her death rather than her life that she would have the most impact on events.

In contrast, there is no obvious foreshadowing towards Jaune's death. If anything, his arc seems to be about self-descovery and, ultimately, achievement.
