[SPOILERS] Would Bronn dying here give him a proper arc?

So Bronn is easily one of my favorite characters, and I think I'm in the minority when I say that I really like the whole idea that Bronn is pissed at the Lannisters for making him do all the dirty work, and I actually like the tavern scene with him in s8; him saying all great houses began with cutthroats; although it could be executed better. Nonetheless, I never would have thought he'd make it to season 8, and it feels weird that he's one of the only characters that didn't really change throughout the span of the show.

So could he have been a more well rounded character if he died at the end of S7E4, Spoils of War. To refresh: this is the episode with a huge battle scene between Dany and the Lannisters and the latter doesn't stand a chance against Drogon and the Dothraki. A large part of the battle follows Bronn, giving him a proper set up to be killed off (I think that scene was so tense because I though Bronn wasgoing to die). He ends up crippling Drogon a bit with the Scorpion arrow, so Jamie takes the chance to try to kill Dany only to almost be scorched by the dragon but Bronn saves him. So should this rescue have been a sacrifice? Bronn ends up pushing Jamie out of the way, but ends up being incinerated in the process. This shows that Bronn actually cares about someone else besides himself, gold, and whores. It does seem a bit cheesy of an arc, but I think we can all agree that Bronn as the master of coin on the small council feels way out of place (Even master of war would have been better). And there was no way to flesh out the Bronn vs Lannister conflict in 6 episodes.

TLDR: should Bronn have been killed by Drogon in S7 in a sacrifice to save Jamie to show that he finally cares for someone else
