If I could change anything, I feel that the arc with Jaune should have been moved to maybe the premier of Volume 2. Then have those 3 episodes replaced with a small story arc for Yang. The funny thing is that Yang isn't even my favorite character, but she is clearly being pushed aside as the volume progressed (even her own trailer had remixes of everyone else's songs and hers was pushed to the back). The first few episodes were introductions, then it focused a lot on Weiss/Ruby, then it jumped to Jaune, then it was mostly about Blake. Yang was just kind of there in the background.

Then they could have started Volume 2 with the Jaune/Cardin fight. They wouldn't have really had to change anything story wise, as someone could have mentioned the Festival in Yang's arc. Then at the start of Volume 2, Jaune tries to prove himself in practice fights with Cardin and gets beat; leading to the events in those episodes.
