The darkness of the story telling will probably be dictated by the story itself. With obvious restrains to how graphic said deaths will be for the sake of appealing to the younger audience I doubt Monty will shy away from killing Ozpin, Yang, civilians or villains. Without meaning to spoil anything or break the spoiler policy the Volume 2 intro is far darker than the Volume 1 intro was and Monty himself has that the show will get darker as it progresses. I imagine we'll see at least Soul Eater, Avatar or Yu-Gi-Oh levels of angst and peril. Environmental destruction, character deaths, full-scale war and internal strife will likely all factor in at some point. When that is, how often it is and how the detail of it's depiction are all that I believe will be up for debate.
