But it would still suck if death isn't even death any more. They went dangerously close in season 4 with Lazarus being treated as a "go-to mechanism" whenever someone died, though Nyssa amended that.

Death still needs to hold weight, otherwise it's no longer sad and characters will be like "whoops they died again, now let's bring them back".
