I was initially opposed to the idea, just because the introduction of Leia's powers in TLJ was very jarring. I've come around to the idea though, and the backstory definitely helped. It definitely makes sense that in a post-RotJ world, you'd definitely train Leia, as there were limited Jedi around.
In the end, apart from space Leia, I actually thought Carrie Fisher was one of the more positive aspects of the trilogy. Her transition from young bratty princess to wise leader was very believable.
I do think they misused her death somewhat. SW has already established that he primary role of force ghosts is to provide guidance to force users. Instead of a post-mortem force ghost Leia, we get Luke and Yoda both cracking jokes and interacting with physical objects. If they are capable of interacting with objects, why don't they just snip the wires in Palpatine's ships?
