How is it irrelevant?
You said that death of the mentor was due because of structure. Commenting on the fact that death of the mentor isn't part of the structure of the Hero's Journey, which is what people are usually referencing when they discuss the death of the mentor, is relevant.

Usually is the relevancy. It's time for Harry to fly on his own. He's alienating Ebenezer, Murphy died, etc.

Not totally on his own, just entering a new phase. In the new phase it looks like the Holy Knights and fatherhood are going to play a huge role.. So out Murphy, in Michael. The Winter Court is becoming more important, so out White Council in Mab.. White Court seemingly more important, so out Thomas, in Lara..

Also a phrasing that works.
He's de facto challenging Marcone for Lord of Chicago, not Knight-Errant Champion of Chicago. Murphy was part of the story past. Harry is moving to a scale where preserving every Chicagoan- Murphy's scale- is out, and leading them into battle- where some will die- is in. Part of his "mini-Mab" arc.

If you're going to use a phrase in an unconventional way without doing anything to disambiguate it from that conventional meaning and in fact using language that reinforces the conventional interpretation of the phrase, don't be surprised when someone responds to the conventional meaning.
