I've always loved Sakura, but let's be real, this is the third time she was actually USEFUL in overall plot of the entire series (if it wasn't for her, Lee never would've interfered against the Sound Nin in the forest of death and Naruto and Sasuke would be dead, and if she hadn't been such a badass against Sasori, we never would've gotten Team Kakashi's reunion as early as we did). The rare other times have been her healing people and while that's "useful", it's not useful in battle.

I'm glad that Kishi is finally stepping up his heroine game and giving her some justice. Although I personally would've preferred the Konoha Eleven, Sai and the Sand Siblings being spared from the Tsukuyomi and being able to help out here. But that's just me.
