Being a scout offer a huge advantage and that is just scratching the surface of the Giro Giro No Mi when you look at it. Now she does have fighting capabilities(not on par with some of the other Straw Hats). She did demonstrates her combat abilities with Sanji by saving him from the goons. She is not completely helpless.

Brook is more of a fencer than a swordsman. And Zoro's not a master swordsman; he's got a long way to go before he reaches the pinnacle of his path. You don't have to be a physical fighter to be classified as a combatant. As for Viola, protecting Sanji from those goons wasn't exactly impressive. To be considered strawhat caliber, she needs to show more. And should she pass that test, her case still doesn't look too good for joining the crew (much like Rebecca as well) for reasons already explained.
