Yes, it's exactly what Wally needs
No, he's been underused
I had the same thoughts as you but I pretty much saw the end days for Wally when Flash Rebirth was going to happen, as a Kyle fan I saw how that turned out so I braced myself for f'ery and I wasn't disappointed. I browsed here and there with nuWally and didn't see anything to make me want to stick around so I left until OG Wally came back BUT I still expected bs cause DC hates characters I like and DC never fails in making sure when it comes to Wally they don't want my money or for me to even read it in a comic store

Yeah, I can admit when I was wrong. I knew from the start that DC didn't really care about him and only brought him back as a half-hearted apology, but I thought that they'd actually TRY to treat him well to continue that apology.
Clearly I was wrong, and, while the subject matter is different, this video sums up my feelings perfectly:

Did anyone see any hint of this on Bleeding Cool today?
Or, was Rich just as surprised as the rest of us were?
Okay, death of friend out of the blue....now
WTF HAPPENED! Why the last posts about Wally being fucked?! Spoilers and links please asap so I can be angry too and take mind off grief. Not joking.
Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)
They made Wally into a coward who ran away from Deathstroke without trying to fight. Then when the Titans went back in time and saw their younger selves, Damian KILLED young Wally, stopping his heart as part of a plan that made no sense whatsoever, and while they were able to resuscitate young Wally, it has now been retconned into Wally's entire history that he has had a pacemaker since his Kid Flash days, and being the Flash could kill him.
And Wally's best friend, Dick, seemingly isn't going to reprimand Damian for doing this to him.
It's absolute crap, and this is just Wally related stuff. Go to the Lazarus Contract thread if you want to see everything else WRONG with this issue.
I went looking up scans and reading blogs.
Yesterday I saw the 'coward' scenes and thought that was both horribly ooc and just plain wrong enough even for a guest appearance in another character's book. Bad right up there with Wally's xover with Wonder Woman decade or so back.
This. Was. Horrible. Not just with what they did with Wally either. I'm now thinking that this book might actually supplant the tie of Act of God/Flashpoint for my least favorite DC story of all time. There had better be a major fix right soon. Something of the order of Dr. Manhattan personally retconning this retcon. Damien is a little Sh*, but he was an okay little Sh*. He didn't deserve this awful bit of writing/plot direction any more than ginger Wally.
Just when I was getting comfortable buying DC after the clusterf* that was my short stint into Marvel. Maybe I'll just go back to reading classic literature and classic The Flash rather than stupid stuff like a character killing another character so that it can somehow/way cut off the speedforce tied to yet another character which is fueling yet another character.... That just makes my head hurt. Who wrote this drivel? This was worse than killing off Barry's parents and the Kents.
