Her character arc in Ragnarok is about accepting her role as a Valkyrie and to stop hiding from the tragedies in her past. It runs counter to her development in that movie if she doesn't stay and fight Thanos. If Thor entrusted anyone with protecting the surviving Asgardians, it would make the most sense if it was Heimdall, wouldn't it?

But I don't think that scene happened anyway. If it did, that means they shot Thanos and the Black Order attacking the ship. That's a very expensive scene to shoot only for it to wind up on the cutting room floor. What probably happened is they shot a death for her along with Loki's and Heimdall's, but then cut it for any number of reasons. Maybe it didn't have the gravity to it that her death should have (like what people say about the deaths of the Warriors Three in Ragnarok). I don't think they filmed a full scene of them attacking either. But if they did cut her death scene out, it might be because either they, Waititi or someone else have something planned for her in future movies.

And if it's "cowardice" to flee with the remaining survivors with the intent to protect them, then I don't think that word could be applied to Heimdall either. No, I think she just bailed. Like the last time she bailed on Asgard. It doesn't make any sense that she would be the one entrusted with protecting them. It's not in her character. Running away from fights she doesn't think she can win is.
