Im rather stumped trying to name many positives to be honest. The only times the larger DC Universe have ever mattered in Wonder Womans stories is either when writers try shipping her with Superman or create relationship awkwardness between the two characters. Darkseid and new god appearances which writers have never made work. Or the occasional run like Byrnes where the Wonder Woman book became an Etrigan the demon book because the writer couldn't get his Etrigan pitch approved.
Her supporting characters seem to be effected more than Wonder Woman herself, and thats more because team books often scoop up Wonder characters into the roster so they can be the requisite smurfette on the team. And even then writers nowadays just shove a sword in their hands to make em the stabby one of a group.
If you want more examples, there is pretty much a a genre of Wonder Woman books were she just beats up on other superheroes. I mean, the cover of The Hiketeia is literally WW stomping on Batman.

I have never heard of such a genre, is it a series of Wonder Woman books that got never published?
Batman is literally just a slightly super-human guy with a bat-costume and gadgets he typically uses on street-thugs, him losing a physical fight with Wonder Woman is nearly as far away from getting humiliated as it can get, come back when Diana starts to solve crimes in Gotham by being a far more effective detective than Bruce.

I can compile a list;
> The Hiketia - WW beats up Batman
> JLA: League of One - Wonder Woman beats up the entire JLA
> Wonder Woman: Dead Earth - Wonder Woman kills Superman
> Rucka's first WW run- Wonder Woman throats Superman
> Injustice: has a pretty famous scene where WW beats up Superman
I can probably find more, though keep in mind I'm not saying this means "Wonder Woman" is the problematic character. Batman is pretty famous for doing this sort of stuff, but that's probably in part because of how many Batman books exists. I think its more telling that a lot of the Batman books that depict Wonder Woman and her rogues gallery poorly are bad comics with no meaningful legacy. Whereas Hiketia is still regarded as one of the greatest Wonder Woman comics...and its about Wonder Woman stepping on Batman.
