Not because I like her character very much but honestly it would be such a waste: If you look on her character development you probably will find nothing special. In many cases, she was nothing more than a heal bot with integrated "Kurosaki-kun" sound files, if you want to put it mean. I had hopes as I saw Ichigo and Inoue standing before the chamber that she would prove her value as a supporter not just by shielding Ichigo one time and than take her seat as a background actor, like she did sadly. I hoped she would support Ichigo in more active way. If Kubo really consideres to let her die it should be in a heroic way: Standing before Ichigo and take a hit which otherwise would have been lethal to him. If she would die just standing around while hoping that Kurosaki-kun will win another fight ... I couldn't stand it. But lets be realistic: He let Byakuya survive, he let Toshiro survive - he won't let Inoue die^^. I guess at this point it depends entirely on Ichigo. If his powers prove to be a match or more than a match for Yhwach. Then Yhwach himself won't have the time to use Inoue as target practice.

My main concern right now, is that Inoue might be used to impair Ichigo in some way. Much like she was used by Grimmjow. If he starts getting hits that Yhwach fires on purpose because he knows Ichigo will stand between them and her, then we won't have to worry about Yhwach killing her. The fans will demand her death. Or at least that Rukia and Renji grab her and take her away from there.
