You know, it's kinda expected from a main character to lead things at some point. We are almost at the end (or not) of the manga, Kaneki got both Eto's and Arima's teachings, he takes what's the best from them.

I think if you are a leader you shouldn't really show you are always smiling, compliant and all charming. Kaneki is meant to be lead this revolution, people have high expectations from him. Eto said Kaneki would be the one so he's the one.

In those regards, Eto's role is almost over. They have given Kaneki everything to survive. I don't think Arima as a Squad Leader showed him to bend to your people, Arima expected people to follow his lead.

Plus, people are there because they agree with Kanek'is ideology and are ready to follow him. It's like Dumbledore said, you don't become a leader because you want to but because you are chosen to take that role.

Kaneki represents exactly this aspect. He didn't want power but he got it, thanks to his charisma even if he doesn't aknowldge himself to have, his keen intellect, his way of thinking, people like that in Kaneki.

Personaly, I think it would be surprising for a writer to diminish his own main character for someone who's almost useless. Furuta beat Eto, Kaneki beat Eto, Arima beat Eto, many people beat Eto. So I really don't think she'll have such a role in the future.
