That's true, but my problem is a bit different:

I don't have a problem with Coco being capable of single-handedly killing Death Stalkers and Giant Nevermores, I have a problem with her killing them instantly, and effortlessly; and doing so right after we had three episodes building up the Grimm as a legitimate threat. Not just the Goliaths, all Grimm are a threat on some level. To suddenly turn around and say "nope! these guys are slims too!" is incredibly jarring. It sets a bad precedence for the Goliaths too; will they be cannon fodder for someone like Glenda? Before this episode I would have said "of course not!" but now I'm not sure.

It's not just CFVY though; RWBY didn't feel like they were in danger of losing even though they were surrounded by Grimm we know they have trouble handling. That's why I suggested having the King Taijitu catch(not hurt, catch) Ruby right before JNPR showed up; it reinforces not only that it's a threat, but also that RWBY is in over their heads, until JNPR shows up and tips the scales in favor of our heroes.

I realize that sounded petty, but the "Devil's in the Details", and a detail like how many hits it takes to defeat a foe can be the difference between a harmless Slime and a dangerous but still easily dispatched Grunt.
