I got the strong impression last year that Kara was only included because she's supposed to be part of the trinity but they really don't have much interest in telling her story in the crossovers. As far as I can see , she was included last year for three primary reasons as it concerns the story fort for Elseworlds which were:
1) the use of Superman
2) build a relationship with Batwoman
3) be the reason for Oliver's deal along with Barry
The point about her being the Arrowverse's Superman is well-taken because they definitely would've used Clark without her if they could've gotten away with it.
Kara and Kate will be the female version of World's Finest so they needed to make her and Kate connect with each other quickly. Oliver is leaving so the friendship that he and Barry he have will sort of be replaced with Kara and Kate.
Oliver sacrificing himself for Barry could've worked by itself but they wanted to have their own version of Barry and Kara dying so it made sense for them to have Oliver make a deal for the both of them.
Crisis on Earth-X was the best use of Kara since she was actually the reason for the Nazis invading since they wanted to transplant her heart into Overgirl. They still did a lousy job with her over the second half of the crossover since she was a helpess hostage for most of it but even that was an improvement. She did get to actually save the day that time when she flew Overgirl into space before she exploded.
