I think it's kind of a neutral development. On the one hand, she doesn't have to be associated with the Flophumans anymore. OTOH, being an X-Man means her supporting cast and world get much less attention, which hurts her as a solo character.
Maybe the best of both worlds for her would have been retconned as a mutant but then be separate from the X-Men after her resurrection.

YES Capes. YES Masks. YES Secret Identities.
Yeah, I should have mentioned Beast. He, Moira, and Nature Girl were completely character assassinated in this era. I guess Beast didn't register at first because he had already been falling into darkness since the Morrison era, so it wasn't quite as jarring. The levels of atrocities he committed under Percy were staggering indeed, but if you remember closely some of the other writers beforehand, they actually didn't exceed previous debasements(like destroying the entire Ghost Box(?) dimension in Ellis's Astonishing, or using the Legacy Virus to exterminate the Skrulls/Vampires(I forget the details) in the Utopia era, for example).
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Madelyne Pryor, since this era really brought her back
Berto benificied way more from his time in the Avengers than from a couple of cool moments in the Storm show.
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
