My primary issue is that her unreliability itself isnt unbroken. Only about half the issues are actually unreliable.
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend she's some angel who got nothing wrong, however most of what she got wrong is irt to her father. The only things she got wrong with Ethan were 1. *why* he killed her dad (betrayal vs for kicks/power) And 2. That Ethan is wholly awful. He isn't, he *did* care about her and try to do what's best for his nation, however he was simultaneously a dodgy bi*** who refused to properly communicate on so heavy an issue (not to mention one that affected the FL personally) and when the FL realistically broke down over losing her only family (and two of, like, 3 personal connections) for seemingly no reason and put death on the table, he told her she should've died.
He's not good and her general hatred of him and remembrance of his actions isn't unreliable, so much as certain explanations to *why*. I'm not arguing that she's entirely reliable, only that I wouldn't consider her full-stop unreliable either. She's in one of those uncommon middle grounds.
