...Huh. You might be right. I tend to interpret Coco's line as metacommentary foremost and primarily, with little actual bearing on the story.

I did just think of another way to interpret the line, though, which allows for her to have used it on her mission: Whatever the mission was, it was severe enough to warrant the use of her weapon, whereas in contrast, the Grimm pouring out from underground are insufficiently threatening to use it on. In other words, Coco's admonition was one against overkill, since the rest of CFVY could handle the situation, without bringing out the big guns, while their mission justified using the weapon.
