Not a single Scion death would bring any meaningful amount of emotion to the end of this story that couldn't be brought by having moments with them on screen. There is no such thing as "being overdue" for a character death. The writers are skilled and have delivered an incredible narrative that included impactful deaths where they meant the most and were necessary to move character growth along.
