I do get it, I just don't see it that far out of line. She was frequently frowning in battle rather than taking complete pleasure in it. One of the only times she made a big ear to ear "evil grin" was when Shiki got Roa'd, and preparing to kill him with this being a ruse because she still liked him, even after he dices her to bits for the second time.
The cold Arcueid frown also persisted even when Shiki took his glasses off and was preparing to fight her to stop a second confrontation between her and Ciel. However, Arcueid does have a big smile whenever she's acting impish and is trying to simply piss Ciel off, and given how violent her hatred is I guess like you said it'll come down to the nuances in how it's handled.
If there's anyone who has the best chance of being butchered into silly battle maniac with no nuance, it'd be Roa himself, actually. A lot of his general dialogue like pic could be easily fucked up and lose the effect it had, with him losing his casual air and either trying too hard to seem cool or trying too hard to seem scary and serious.
