I think the thing with Fire Emblem vs Kirby is like

Fans of just Kirby would rather see the Kirby character, fans of just Fire Emblem would rather see the Fire Emblem character, and fans of both are going to prefer the Fire Emblem character, and that's generally going to be true no matter how many Fire Emblem characters you put in.

And that's going to be true for second string Fire Emblem vs second string of pretty much any series that's in the game right now, because Fire Emblem is just a more character driven game with more focus put on those side characters.

And I don't think that's a bad thing. Once you're in the second string you've pretty much spent the "casual who is just excited about the mainstream offerings." Series diversity only matters if you're deficient in the non-repped series. Trying to keep everyone perfectly even, or in descending order of series popularity, by shoehorning minor characters in from series like Kirby or Metroid where the fanbase itself hardly cares, it's largely a waste of effort.

My only issue with Fire Emblem is too many of the characters could just be Marth Echoes and you wouldn't know the difference. Get some axe users or archers in there. Like Robin is an awesome character cause she actually does different stuff as opposed to almost every other Fire Emblem character in the game.
