"All aboard, ye who are Jaunrha-savvy."

I don't support the idea of Ruby "ending up with" Jaune. That's still "first guy wins" because the trope isn't about who dates the main character first, it's who gets her by the end. I'd rather if we absolutely had to see Jaune date Ruby, that theirs be the relationship we see played out first. So we can be slapped in the face with the raw truth that ultimately, they do not make a good couple. Then people can drop it and move on with their lives.

Also, the whole protagonist-deuteragonist, Team A-Team B thing is bull. Being the "main protagonist" means that no matter who the camera falls on, no matter how many episodes may center around another character, in the end, the focus is always on that main protagonist. Everyone else falls by the wayside. Due to the title of the show, the name of the team, Ruby can very easily rule the show without anyone else. Team RWBY could die if Ruby survived and Ruby would still be referred to as team RWBY and the show would go on as RWBY. Everyone else on the show can die as long as Ruby survives. THAT's the role of the main character. Jaune is not a main character in the same vein as Ruby. Otherwise the show would have been called RubyXJaune.

BTW, Due to the order in which the characters appeared in the series, going by "first guy", Ruby has better chances of ending up with Roman.
