The fact that General Ross has been around since the beginning is the exact reason he should stick around. He’s seen everything. His opinion has weight. He has generally fought the heroes throughout the entire series. He should continue to do so. When the government makes one decision, but the heroes make another, what should happen? We saw this play out a little bit with the Sokovia Accords, but it shouldn’t end there.
As for Wanda, it the MCU follows the comics then Wanda will return. It’s not a desperate attempt to be relevant, it’s a comic accurate story.
Additionally it’s clear that’s the route we’re going, but it’s not like she’s just going to pop back into existence. Her story, coupled with her family, is being told slowly over several years. Infinity War/Endgame is the start, then we dive into Wanda specifically with WandaVision, then Multiverse of Madness, most recently Agatha All Along, next is likely VisionQuest, then I would expect something else, eventually Young Avengers.

If death isn’t real, what’s the point of the movies?
If you know the character can come back at any point, it makes the story less impactful.
Look at “somehow he returned” for palpatine. Sure, it was hamfisted example at best, but it cheapened all of the previous movies.
What was the point of anakin sacrificing himself if palpatine returns?
What’s the point of these characters, their stories, their lives, and their deaths if they are meaningless?
Stories don’t need happy endings
