That's not really an excuse. Yeah, the burns were heavy, but not something that would lead to an immediate death, unlike the decapitation or Chidori in the chests as you suggest. I don't even recall any person which died from this fireball. The main thing that killed Shin clone wasn't the fireball itself, but taking away the vital organs by his father. Plus, Sakura wasn't really restraining herself, of course, when the lives of her family and comrades were on the line, she was ready to kill an opponent if necessary, unlike Naruto and Sasuke who wanted to gain an intel on Shin by interrogating him, which required him staying alive.
