Quite indifferent about it personally though I feel like I can see both sides. Honestly I just think it depends on how it's handled. Ilia's was done almost perfectly in my opinion; think the only reason it gets any hate at all is because of how it was delivered.

The only difference I see between this and the heteroromances in the past are that Ilia's was properly told to us as veiwers (aside from Adam and Blakes though we knew theirs from the moment they both had screentime together). Everyone else's seemed to be clear from the start or gradual. Ilia's is gradual too depending on how you view it, (I see everyone as friends/close friends honestly aside from Ren + Nora, Jaune + Pyrrha, and Sun trying to get it with Blake) but she's clearly stated it in the end.

Plus I can't see why anyone would say it's "not important to the plot" when love/affection clearly makes people do crazy things; look at  Ren,  Adam, Ilia and to some degree, Jaune (self-destructive trainning at most), Sun and Yang (Both doing everything they've done/tried to help/protect Blake). And I doubt that'll be the last of love related actions we see.
