Monty literally did not come up with the idea for the Maidens until after they finished the production for volume 2. Miles and Kerry said he was so excited about it that they decided to include it when they started making volume 3 even though it meant they'd have to make some changes to the story to fit it in.

Arkos was most likely always going to happen. In the original version of the story, before Monty came up with the Maidens, Pyrrha's death was going to be partially Jaune's fault. Kinda glad they didn't go with that.
