Had she not been lucky enough Cinder and Vernal were down and Raven didn't want to fight she by all rights should have died and failed... I am so dissapointed her combat skill growth wasn't really shown at all... i You said that and  I interpreted it as "I am disappointed that Yang didn't really have a shot if she fought Raven, Cinder or Vernal". Sorry

 As for Yang going, they have tried to paint Yang as the most competent of the RWBY team, and honestly, plus Yang is Raven's daughter which I think everyone knows is less likely to be killed by Raven. Also, Ruby's semblance would have been useless. It's pretty clear that semblances are only as good as their "wielder" and Ruby is eons behind Raven and Cinder. If it didn't work with Mercury in V3, then I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work on any of them
