Who says Team JNPR aren't main characters and are unimportant? Sure, they were originally intended to be mere B-class side characters, but the more the crew started to flesh out their characters, the more they loved them. Team JNPR ended up upgraded from B-class side characters to A-class main characters. Hell, if I remember correctly, from the directors commentary, something noteworthy is going to happen with Pyrrha in volume 2.

Not only that, volume 1 was mainly just introductions. Everything that they did in volume 1 was dictated by one thing: preparation for volume 2. Episodes 15 and 16 were when we finally started transitioning out of the introduction stage. We're going to get into the actual main story in volume 2.

Jaune's arc could've been shorter, true. But I'm actually glad that they decided to do his little "I don't have any combat training and faked my way into Beacon" reveal in volume 1. Why? Because that gives Pyrrha time to train him, so he won't be a useless, weak, pathetic wuss in volume 2. We have a frickin tournament coming up, plus whatever Cinder is planning. We don't want to sit here watching Jaune get curbstomped during every fight. That's just cringeworthy.
