And hopefully she will appear next season 1 or 2 times. They really should make better use of Ruby and Mulan, they are fan-favorites who have so much potential of having a fun storyline. I wonder why they seem to keep Mulan as far away from SB as possible? Yeah she was supposed to go with the Merry Men to SB in the first place... but guess she got tired of being with all those men I think in-universe the show established she was desperate to turn over a new leaf after it didn't work with Aurora and decided to go full on mercenary and honourless because of that. Perhaps being with the Merrymen was still too close to her past self.

In reality, I think that's because, like Meghan, Jamie is not always readily available and having Mulan in another realm is a nice way to give her an episode when schedule's clear without raising questions like "There's a crisis every other day in Storybrooke: why don't they ask for help from one of the best warriors in all the lands?" when Jamie's unavailable.
