Yes, she could have damaged Aaroniero with her Kido if she had aimed for him that time, but her only skill that was at lieutenant level was her Kido, and there were lieutenants with greater skill at it (who 'shockingly' don't have Bankai). I understand that she's "one of two main female characters and adored by most fans" and it does explain why Kubo would give her a Bankai, but that doesn't explain how she got hers so quickly when she should have had (likely) no training for Bankai before the Royal Guard training. Because this has now happened, I'm expecting a really good explanation as to how she achieved Bankai by Kubo.
