Realistically though for the show, yes we know there's a large cast already. But think about like World Trigger. This show has a lot in common with world trigger the abillities etc. World Trigger has a massive cast and it works, as some characters respond to things. To me it seems relatively unrealistic that there's a large class but we don't see some other characters or new casts/players in a large universe.

Having other characters also gives the show flexibilllity. I agree there needs to be more character development,but at the same time we're talking about an international tournament on the scale of the Olympics with 4-5 countries and we only have around 30-40 people seen on camera. Also having other squads show up besides RWBY makes a lot of sense. Rwby goes and fights, and there's another squad assisting them. We may not care about them but it nonetheless makes it less realistic.
