I felt that you are all right in some ways. Firstly Empress was never that important or integral to the story so I will say that.
However, most arcs were centred around the other girls. Although Bart, Conner and Tim were present most of the time and were most central in early story's,the arcs rarely focuses around them as they all had solo books(yes they did have arcs but not as many).Btws, Bart did leave for a while but not long. Secret was essential to the story having a very strong arc, the same can be said about arrowette even though she left the team she was always present. Wonder girl had a lot of focus too.
In conclusion, to say the YJ4 were not essential is wrong, but the other characters still had more focus. Impulse, Robin and Superboy also had their own books for their stories, in the same way we don't get many Nightwing focuses arcs in Titans as he often has his own series.
