Kinda seems realistic for the police

Yeah, the ending definitely had a negative impact retroactively on my view of the character. But I started watching CM after Prentiss was a thing, and it was striking how different the two actresses abilities are, which is distracting when watching older episodes, and is a bigger detriment than what happened to Elle.

Still, I would've rather a better ending for the character. I never like when a main character is killed or fucked over by writing. I'd rather they just retire to live on a beach or something.

Elle was a strange character to me.

She was often openly critical of the other characters and things the liked or did. And sometimes, she was actually hostile. It could be grating. It was such an odd way to write and play the character, especially as someone new brought on to a behavioral unit. I didn't hate her, but I was often left puzzled by her. I mean, Gideon could also be grating (even aggressively so), but he at least seemed to know how his behavior played to other people, even if that didn't check it.

And another difference to me is that Gideon was genuinely oblivious about social clues. Elle knew she was grating and didn't care. That being said, I did liker. Just not as much as others.

I think it was just a veryyyyy different show at that point, that was much more comfortable with its characters being abrasive and ambiguous.

Well, they did try to get her counseling afterwards, and she quit rather than do it. And she neatly managed to cover up killing the suspect so that only Hotch worked it out, so I don't think it's all on the team not working out what was going on - she deliberately and carefully deceived them because she cared about going back to work so much, and it backfired horribly. A similar thing happens to Hotch later with his blown-out eardrums.

This. That kind of scenario is common among the team in general, really. They may not get to the point of making a wrong move on Elle's level, but when they return to work, they still sometimes do things that could be seen as concerning and questionable.
