Very much hoping it isn't. Because it hardly makes sense, and because it would hurt the writing.

1-Semblance is the Active use of Aura. So to remove the Semblance entirely, you would have to remove the Aura. But that means, you would need to remove their SOUL, since that's what allows one to use Aura. Just doing that would be insta-kill.

2-Even if they didn't die, without Aura they are just normal people. They wouldn't be able to do any of the crazy shit they do casually, just trying would shatter their bones, and even the weakest Grimm would feel like bosses.

3-If Cinder could remove someone's Semblance (and thus Aura), she would be effectively invincible. So if she later got defeated, it would be egregiously likely to be an Ass Pull, a Deus Ex Machina, and the show's writing is bad enough without them as it is.
