Yes, and Saki is remaining herself during these tough times.

It is not the ability to express your emotions externally in order to make yourself feel better.

Wrong. That
is part of it,
for Saki. Saki has always been a person who wears her emotions on her sleeve. Why are people complaining about this now?
Saki cried when Shun romantically touched her hand. Saki also cried over the mere memory of that. Saki wept, and even became a bit choked up, when she received the farewell letter from Maria. Saki is an emotionally expressive person.
Satoru has always been the person that's better at looking cool, calm, and collected.

Even accepting the fact that Saki is mentally stable, this mental stability is supposed to make Saki a "good leader."

There's different types of leadership. Leading a village during peacetime is
very different from leading a military operation during an all-out war.
Tomiko recruited Saki to lead a village during peacetime. She didn't recruit Saki to successfully lead humanity through a war. In her wildest nightmares, Tomiko probably never imagined a scenario playing out like what we've seen since Yakomaru made his move.
Making good but tough administrative decisions is very different from being resourceful while playing Solid Snake in the badlands as part of a 4-man team that is humanity's last hope. Just because someone would make a good Mayor doesn't mean they'd make a good Rambo.
