Not unavoidable.
Extremely likely, but not unavoidable.
The main thing is that Miyuki has been raised to conform to certain preconceptions, so it's unlikely she will go against them even if she did not like them, or if they were not actually all the necessary.

My main point has been consistently that, if she really wants to, and is willing to go for it, she could avoid marriage, and that marriage is not really necessary for the main objectives of a marriage (more mages + Yotsuba heir), because other options exist.

I don't see the main conflict or drama about the marriage being about inevitability of the marriage, but a struggle inside Miyuki about whether she keeps following the preconceived notions of society, or will she break free and do what she wants.

It's not even the struggle of mages as weapons or demand for more mages, but same struggle lot of people in a conformist society go through.
