I don't agree with your assessment of Jaune. He serves a purpose, He's the viewers in many ways.

"Heu? What an Aura?" They get to explain to us. Jaune also has a prograssion going on his character from lovable fool, he's slowly getting stronger and more confident.

Let's look at that against Ren shall we?

Nora talk about her dreams, he corrects it.

fights a king Taijitu without him weapon

Get's save by Nora against the Death Stalker

Get's save by Nora against the Paladin

Always seems out of breath in a fight.

His best scene was with Jaune where he doesn't say a word while Jaune talks about relationship.

Aaand that's it! He has provided NOTHING to the show yet. Maybe he will, but right now he's useless.
