As I look back, I barely recall her being used in the series. She seemed to be on sidelines ever since the first battle between Night Raid and Jaegers.

There's really no point in "getting their just deserts" when for the most part the fan-favored deaths don't occur in any particular order. They're just there because the scene calls for them to be killed off. There's neither style nor meaning behind it and frankly that's the safest way anyone could have killed Esdeath. The closest counterpart I could think for her done right would be the Major from Hellsing. I disagree with you about Kurome's character development. While character development is a bit of a weak point of AGK, Kurome is one of the only characters that actually changes during the series. Tatsumi and Mine don't really count because that's just generic hero and tsundere development. I do agree she mostly serves as a tie-in, but you do see her character gradually change during the manga.
