also there was no issue with the 2 of them fighting had it not been for Emerald's semblance. the only reason why things went south is due to Phyrrha seeing all those swords due to the illusion. if she had only seen the regular amount then she wouldn't have used so much magnetic power to fight against the attack.

but running a scan on the CCT, yeah we can blame everyone in power for not doing something like that, but we can't blame Ironwood for what happened to Penny. well, I guess if we're to blame him for what happened, ...

Except Penny was likely dead before she was sliced apart... it didn't matter that Emerald used illusions at all... that was purely for scale and spectacle, even if Pyrrha was left to her own devices its hard to say Penny would have left still 100% operational... she's a magnet herself, which indicates operational instability would result if magnetism was applied to something that required it if that part of her functionality was unintentional... and Pyrrha didn't know that was an issue, so you can bet it would come up if she had to get a little sloppy.
