If too many Bat-Fam characters stay to help - they run the risk of the same problem some of the other shows have had where the protagonist either has to be made incompetent, or injured so that the team still has a viable challenge to overcome.
Apparently this happened with Arrow where he had a whole team of sidekicks, and while he used to be able to deal with a warehouse of thugs on his own, then he needed all the sidekicks to help. This made him weaker and less able than he was in earlier seasons. I don't know if that's been fixed now.
It's likely Batwoman will already have Flamebird and Batwing for help - 2 is enough in most situations IMO.
