Honestly want to know the reason Jaune had to have a focus arc in the first season? Look at the new opening. Rember the Intiation? Jaune not having a landing strategy? Needing to be saved? Well look at him in the new opening. He is right alongside the rest of them without needing help.

Everyone in RWBY was established as a competant fighter from there trailers. Not Jaune, he had to have his catalyst that causes him to start to improve happen in the first volume so that when the second much more intense and highstake volume started we wouldnt still be dealing with the same massive incompetant, and have to see the much more serious story this time around stop to deal with it and set him on his path. Now he already is and In retrospect it makes sense.
