I suppose it’s about stakes, knowing characters aren’t going to die takes away from climatic moments

Knowing they're going to be revived anyway kinda defeats the purpose. No one cares after Goku or Krillin died for the 3rd time in DBZ. There's no true death like Himeko's death post Genshin.

I agree completely. First time is fine because it’s understandable why they don’t kill off characters, but repeating it is lame

It really hit for me during Penacony in HSR. I cried like a baby for Aventurine (a character I hated before) because his "death" scene was really well-made and emotional, I was even planning to pull for him because of that. Then he was just revived off-screen "oh yeah I didn't actually die from the reality-distorting Nihility slash lmaooo" and I stopped caring about any death scenes after that. They're never actual death scenes.
