She wasn't the most well-developed character before, but I felt it was more interesting to see her dealing with the cases as the team's liaison rather than watching her do so as just another field agent. I think it added something to her character that she was the one in charge of damage control, of controlling how the BAU is seen by the public, etc. It was actually a unique role so she brought something unique to the table, unlike field agent JJ who basically just brings "well, as a mother..."

IMO it's really difficult to trace how much of that is specific to JJ, and how much of it is just the inevitable way that characters change / decay over the course of a show?

No you're right, it's definitely true of the characters in general. IMO in canon JJ was always about as interesting as watching paint dry (which she continued to be once she became a field agent), but I thought liaison!JJ had a more interesting dynamic with the rest of the team when it came to fics and what have you. Plus in general the show had so many field agents already that I feel it was inherently a boring choice to remove some of the variety in the roles the characters played.

Honestly, I found her a lot more boring before. I actually find it more interesting to see Garcia taking on parts of the liaison role. JJ wasn't really interesting to me until she came back. And they explained it well enough for me that the changes in her made sense.

Ugh, I hate that so much. I remember an episode where Morgan called her out on that ("Would you say that if you didn't have a kid?") and I almost cheered.
