Nothing you just said would make her a Mary Sue. If surviving the series they are in makes a character a Mary Sue (which it doesn't) then almost all fictional characters in existence are Mary Sues. "Mary Sue is a term used to describe a fictional character, usually female, who is seen as too perfect and almost boring for lack of flaws, originally written as an idealized version of an author in fanfiction."

How does that NOT fit Gabi? Fictional female? Check. Too perfect? Definitely considering her track record for success without consequence. Boring for lack of flaws? More than boring, really, more like headscratching, and seen by her stans as the perfect loli waifu. Idealized version of the author? Hell yes, he said himself she's basically a female Eren, but unlike what he wanted, she lacks the empathetic and likable qualities that we have seen in Eren throughout the series.
