I have a feeling it is a case of "lets kill someone off" however they just decided not to halfway through. These last minute decision changes never work. It also kinda happened afterwards with Siren.

I prefer how he acts now that he has joined the Legion, but they still are terrible in a relationship due to all the old baggage. Meanwhile, yes James is becoming the new Laurel. If it weren't for the fact that Supergirl hardly kills anybody besides the population of Krypton and Mars, i would be worried he would die.

Elongated Man was picked instead of Plastic Man for one reason. Elongated Man is the only stretchy hero with a connection to Barry Allen. However there is extras to the character that come with that which they ignored. I had hoped this would change after Izzy's death, but they didn't even do that.
