While I liked Tiara's redemption, you have a point many characters are too often instantly redeemed, (especially Sunset, whom just had rainbows shot at her to become good, so it came off as she didn't have a choice in the matter, and was basically brainwashed into being good) and this fan-comic parody seems to imply the same should be done with Glimmer, and that's a bad idea IMO.
While I didn't like her reformation at first, as you said at least Glimmer still retains some of her personality traits and flaws. Like when she wanted to make Big Mac more talkative, and such shows she still has some control issues.
Meanwhile certain others after becoming good either faded into the background, or are completely different characters now. The only exception is Discord, who's more like a "not always reliable ally," and he still gets to be Discord. Though, depending on the writer the Mane 6 are either friendly, or treat him like a nuisance still.
