No, the Web Novel ending was a failure. Maruyama wanted to give Arche a "fate worse than death", but it just didn't work. I mean...it was just going to end up as hentai.

The narrative function her is to make it clear that, as Nazarick starts to move to change the New World from it's existing rapefest of the nobles preying on the peasents, there will be collateral damage. That's what happens with wars in the real world, they are not clean affairs where absolutely nobody on the 'bad' side is a sympathetic character.

Overlord also extends that point to wars against demi-humans, but it's harder to feel bad for them.

Because face it, they are not as pretty.
