I wouldn't call it "not being very original", more that he's written himself into a corner. He established very early on that healing kidou/12th Division will fix literally anything, and then brought in people like Orihime who can recreate body parts from nothing and has raised people from the dead (Menoly). At this point a major character dying of injuries would be plain plot-induced stupidity - I don't think it's a coincidence that when he did actually want to kill someone important off (Yamamoto) he had Yhwach blast his body to smithereens. Else all of us here would have rightfully been asking why Orihime didn't just rez him or something.
