Arche's team and her sister's well being were most of the focus in volume 7, and indeed important in world building. We got to know a lot about the affairs of the Baharuth Empire and Workers (the adventurer counterparts of questionable legality). They functioned to showcase a lot of Nazarick that hadn't been on screen, and doubled as a segue into volume 9, since their (arranged by Nazarick) intrusion was the entire 'Just Cause' excuse to start appearing on a national level. Arche's team in particular were sympathetic (though not saintly) to contrast with the other Worker Teams that ranged from awful to neutral. Despite that, they probably had the worst fates of all the Workers.

Finally, their attempts to stay alive when under the guns of Ainz and company may have been the first domino to a hinted future plot of Albedo arranging a hit squad to 'search' for any of Ainz's former guildmates. So yeah, pretty important and not simple shock value even if it was that too.
