Except Raven did that when her aura was at full charge, protecting her from the ice, without the need for heat, and judging by the time from when the ice started cracking to when it broke, it took her about 20 seconds, and she didn't seem to use fire in doing so.

Cinder has her aura extremely diminished if not broken, and access to fire considering her liberal use of that portion of Maiden power. Yet she never rose back out in the remainder of Downfall, nor in the entirety of Haven's Fate, and you can't use the depth of the fall as evidence considering she has the ability to turn her hands into jet boosters. The impact of the fall would kill her, so the only way she'd survive is if she broke out midfall, at which point, why not propell herself back up the chasm and sneak attack Raven?

As for being anti-climatic, I think that may be the point. Not everyone gets their revenge, so Jaune and Ruby not getting to settle things with Cinder means they'll have to deal with their lingering feelings in other ways.
