Sure, it wasn't as badass as we hoped, but she's a side character who doesn't really play a huge role, so I think it's acceptable. Plus it could totaly lead into the emo Blake thing about "my Semblance is copying other things I'm so worthless D:" I'd rather have them "dissappoint" us with Velvet rather than any major character.

But I personally enjoyed the reveal. Although I do wonder why she has to "make it count", and I too feel that I May Fall was a bit out of place, even though they outnumbered and outgunned the paladins. Basically they went Dragon Ball-Naruto-Bleach-One Piece-like. They did hint it and there was build up but it still doesn't convince me. I keep feeling Velvet was as much of a deus ex machina as CFVY in Breach.

I disagree.In Breach the threat was more or less over when team CFVY came into the scene since they took out several of  the most Grimm we have seen in the show at that point.

Here Velvet took out one Paladian and got KO'ed by another.Requiring Wesis to step in.Its not really comparable. It is comparable because the show made clear that a single team would have a hard time dealing with one. Here we have four teams fighting two Paladins, the odds were not looking so bad, and then Velvet steals the show and defeats one, severly damages the other one and downlights Weiss' summoning. I see nobody speaking of Weiss at all. Everyone is fixated on Velvet's box. That's basically what CFVY meant in Breach. Stealing the show while everyone else was useless. SSSN for instance is still useless when the big fights happen.
