Considering the trend, I'd say instant death gimmick will start appearing at least next year.

Regarding the usage itself;

Holmes defenses pierce see it use a days later (Summer Re-run), however surely we see not all bosses suddenly goes insane defense buff. You can go past 100% critical damage, unblockable is still on territory of "luxury granted by having Limited Servant" even by now.

Colombus got critical debuff, strong ones. After that, Lostbelt II bring Sigurd who have insane critical damage and Skadi - Valkyrie teams. Of course it put Colombus at certain advantages, however surely we not see you stumbled really hard without Colombus.

So, yes, the instant death will happened. As fast it could be, it would be by Lostbelt III.

Annoying, maybe; making Nightingale and Skadi a must have? Not really-- although I can see some players go dual Skadi on King Hassan Nero Fest Re-Run for obvious reason.
