...I'm gonna get my ass killed if I ever do a genuine deep dive for it, but gotta say:
No, Nobara was never a particularly well-written girl character.
She had her moments, to be sure. Like in the Origin of Obedience Arc, and part of her death (the flashback part has some serious issues, mainly in regards to its timing¹, but the 'chairs' part of the scene is The Good Shit™).
But like. She was always noticeably bereft of plot threads/things to do, particularly in comparison to Megumi and Satoru. Hell, she gets thrown out of most battles she's in, to the point that Megumi comments on it during OfO:
Her argument with Nishimiya is a travesty, to the point that I don't even want to go over it outside of a deep dive.
Her admiration of Maki is one of the few cool things about her character, but it's not a particularly emphasized or, uhhhh, 'revolutionary' thing. Sure ain't no Utena, lmao.
I like Nobara! But she was always playing fifth-fiddle to Megumi, had few unique interactions with Gojo-sensei, and mainly acted as a support to Yuji (she literally dies in part to further traumatize Yuji in and out of universe, lmao). Hell, you can make the argument that she was having minor hints to getting romantically involved with Yuji before her death.
This isn't to pit Nobara fans against Megumi fans, Yuji fans, or even Satoru fans; but like, I was so flabbergasted when I read up to 145 initially, 'cause...well-written girls and women? Where??? Maki and Mai were the closest, and barely fleshed-out, all the same.
My hot take: Nobara was NEVER better-written or designed than Haruno Sakura (manga, Studio Pierrot fucked her over).
¹Something similar happened with Nanami almost dying to Mahito, but since he survives that and continues to have story presence, it isn't as big of an issue. It's definitely worth comparing, though.

Sometimes you gotta draw yourself happy when you're not so happy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TW: talk about depression and some serious thoughts that come with it. Honestly can't tell if I'm being melodramatic or not, if I told my family they would probably think so. But anyways, I kinda feel like my life is falling apart? I know this year has been really hard on everyone, but man does 2020 like to beat the shit out of everyone close to me and myself. With me not being able to get a job, loosing my religion, my house burning, being homeless for a month, a literal pandemic, my dad loosing his job, being in my childhood house where I relive old traumas, my friend going through some shit with the Navy and had to be immitted to a mental hospital, another friend getting covid, my dad having a stroke and staying in the VA hospital for almost 4 days, my uncle's family getting covid, my therapist telling me that he doesn't believe in HRT and transitioning, my mom saying that me being transgender is being sick and that needs to be cured, feeling guilty over my dad's stroke, and finally overall feeling shity. I've had thoughts on ending it. It's honestly hard to see a future for me. I don't really have a way to express any of it. If I say these things out loud the best thing that could happen is that I get slapped in the mouth and the worst is that I could give my dad another stroke. The only things keeping me going is the possible guilt that if I die my dad might die with me and the possibility that no one will take care of my precious bunny. I guess that that should be enough for a while. I think that's all?

"Where's Maki?" Actually so true. Where TF is she. She wasn't involved in Kenjaku VS. Takaba (feat. Yuta and Ui Ui). Last we saw her in present times was right before Kashimo did the funny, right? So, like...Gege removed everything unique about her and made her into Femme Toji. Is she going to have involvement in the plot? Or is she damned to do this single-file fight thing that Gege's mostly been sticking to?
Hopefully she comes in during Yuta's fight, but that might just end up with both of them dead...
Is Maki going to do anything in 249-250?
I WANT TO BELIEVE
Look me in the eyes and tell me that Gege cares about the women. You won't.
She's gonna team up with Rika and then die.
Yuta & Maki bond so real #trust
251 is her time to shine. Yuta may or may not die before then.
Maki is retrieving Choso for Ui Ui.

I'm trying to read the manga fully, to have an informed opinion on its quality and certain narrative choices, but good Lord, I'm only up to 160 and I want to throw Megumi in the trash, where he belongs.
There's never a right or wrong time to iron out the differences.
My memoir.
Ps- I absolutely love her.
