The problem, like a few people have said at this point, is not her behavior, but the player character's.
Like, a character having flaws is fine. It can make a story more compelling, serve for a character arc, and more often than not makes them feel more real and relateable. But, a character's flaws being continuously ignored or brushed away, either because their writer genuinenly doesn't see them as such or because they're just too tunnel visioned on what they see their character as (like destroyed said), is just the recipe for a Mary Sue. Granted, not the genuinely perfect kind, but their (even more annoying) twin: the 'treated as if they were perfect' kind (see Cait, and arguably Agni herself as of right now).
As for Brienne and Kiyoko, pretty sure they have no interaction there. Which, credit where credit is due, is pretty savvy. Writers are better off not touching those characters than doing so and getting them wrong.
Matter of fact, the only critique i would move towards Wsan is that he should be a bit more protective of Brienne/Brint. Everyone else who's tried writing them just didn't do a good job or straight up messed them up, and that just to leech some of their popularity.
