In order to make room for the next villain no villain can stay on the show unless they become less evil (or wicked). In order to stay on the show without taking away from the next villain Zelena has to be able to have scenes with other characters where she is at least somewhat civil with them. This retcon gave Zelena a reason to be able to have future scenes with Regina without taking anything away from her character or personality. I don't expect her to fight along side with our heroes but she could now possibly be present when they are making the plan and she could make a Zelena-ish remark about why it won't work and come back after the action with a I told you so sis. Eventually the res of the group will realize they need her cunning-ness to help make plans that don't blow up in their face. Very good point! In a way she is kind of like Rumple. She's a necessary evil to keep around. Sometime's a hero goes to her (like they come to Rumple) becuase they know she can do something no one else can.
