Saying reincarnation is a very big stretch. That's a level the show doesn't touch yet besides Ozpin, and Ozpin is very detailed as to how he's lived and we know the rules surrounding him.

I remind you that the Maiden concept was thought of after Volume 2 and then worked into the show. When Raven first showed up, Miles, Kerry, and Monty did not portray her as a Maiden in their closed-room discussions. They worked it into the show in a way that makes sense with what they already had and in a way that's interesting. They wouldn't change Team RWBY as much as you're saying for this new plot point.
