Absolutely, as you say this kind of nitpick is nothing new - we've seen plenty of times in Trek that one episode's miraculous solution-of-the-week is conveniently forgotten the next time. It goes all the way back to the missing shuttles in The Enemy Within.
Well one of the main traits of mary sues is that they are very important even when it makes no sense. clearly Michael has this trait seeing how spock called her a self important person.
Georgiou said much the same thing last season in the finale. Burnham starts shit like a boss but then she second guesses herself. It's a flaw they have written her with all along.
But you can't list one trait and call it a day. She has character flaws (such as the self-importance Spock accuses her of). She makes mistakes. People don't become out of character around her. She doesn't save the universe any more than others already have. Case closed.
