The way I see it, she isn't really a burden for Mira or Elfman. The problem really was that she keeps getting thrown into fights she really can't handle. Just think about all the people she fought since her return: Erza, Azuma and Sayla for example. These aren't people that even, say Natsu (at the time of each individual battle) would have beaten. It kinda seems like Hiro only brought her back to throw her in a corner and only bring her out to fight people she obviously can't beat. Plus if she died again then wouldn't Mira and Elfman suffer similarly like last time?

And I had a feeling that shipping would be a factor in this...
