Granted, she would probably get shattered in the first 5 seconds of the war. My guess, Pink wanted to protect her from danger Nope, not that, Pink left her just when she first got her Earth colony, Pink hadn't even seen Earth, let alone known that a war would be fought on it. Being trapped alone in a place for 6000 years is probably worse fate anyway. Also, take into consideration that yes, Spinel wasn't exactly created to serve in the capacity of open warfare, her unique skillset would have allowed her to serve as an effective spy or saboteur in the right situation. Unfortunately, since we don't entirely know exactly how rare Spinels even are (especially in a wartime setting) our Spinels' presence would have drawn too much attention from the Diamonds if Pink Diamond was still around and her Spinel was found working for Rose Quartz. Alternatively, if her appearance at Roses' side took place AFTER Pink Diamond was "Shattered", than most other Homeworld Gems would assume that she stole Spinel from Pink, but even then; one slip-up of phrasing from Spinel and then the secret about Pink Diamond gets leaked to the Crystal Gems Chain-of-Command.

It would have been interesting to see exactly how Spinels' personality would have worked alongside the others in the show, I believe that she, Amethyst, and Steven would have got along famously as a trio.
