I do have a hard time however seeing the others dying because of three reasons one Jaune is based on Joan of Arc and she was burned at the stake after being sentenced by  Henry Beaufort who you may or may not know is the basis for Cardin Winchester. SO that would mean Cardin would have to be the one to kill Jaune in some way or another. As Anon says Thor lived one hell of long life before dying to the Jormungandr at the very end of the Norse Gods reign. So if Nora is going to die like that it will mean it will be her one last hurrah before dying a glorious death and as for Ren who you said yourself is really iffy is based on Mulan who killed herself in shame, so yeah that most likely if NOT at all going to happen. Pyrrha, to be clear, wasn't killed by the arrow in her heel and Cinder was not inspired by the character who killed Achilles. So it is not as if it follows their story perfectly in every respect. However, it is misguided to make such a deliberate choice in having a team of characters inspired by figures who had untimely deaths and have one suffer an untimely death in a manner that alludes to the inspiration's untimely death then just say it doesn't apply to the rest of them. It ends up looking like the writers are inconsistent.
