I agree that the writing team here isn't so much recycling stuff from Code Geass, they're just recycling overdone tropes in general. They're not creative enough so they take the easy way out. Why does suddenly announcing that you're going to retire/marry the girl you love/confess feelings raise death flags in a story? Cheap way to add drama.

To me the creative team here had to kill the hypotenuse because they can create drama and force a change in Shu while also getting rid of someone possibly overshadowing Inori (I've heard that Inori herself isn't a very popular character, don't know for sure). Having Hare take over obviously wasn't an option given all the images we see of Shu/Inori together in OPs/EDs, official art, etc.
