Personally my problem with him is how he's inserted into the plot. Just this season alone there's been things like

Kara dealing with her claustrophobia and the still lingering trauma of Krypton's destruction leading to a really emotional moment then nope! It's been about Mon-El all along.

Most of the episodes leading to his return have been about him in some small way. Yeah she was hurting and scared about him being gone and it's alright to focus on him but they were constantly mentioning him like he was dead even after he'd been gone for months. I mean Caitlin and Iris' fiances died after dating each other/being engaged for months in relationships that weren't based on a lie and they were able to kind of move forward after a few months while still being sad and focusing on what had happened slowly over time.

Mon-El did not need to be on Argo, they could've brought anyone like Superman or Alex but they brought someone with no emotional ties to the place. With Superman he'd see his biological aunt and his people, with Alex she'd get to meet her sister's mom and her mom could bond with Alex.
