Blake has her share of fans in canon so I believe that is why she is not The Scrappy on that page. If Jaune (probably the most hated character in the fandom because Miles voices him, but also a character that has his fans as well) is not considered a Scrappy there, she is not.
As for this fic, maybe. As you said, a majority of the dislike for her comes from her actions in canon, some of which are repeated in the Weight of the World series. It is hard to say. She has certainly not endeared herself to many of the readers. As pointed out in the Unintentionally Unsympathetic and Catharsis Factor entries, many fans cheered when Yang chewed her out and some do not want their friendship to mend because they feel Blake doesn't deserve it to. I think she can be considered a Scrappy.
For future reference, there is a thread to approve Scrappies here
. If the link does not work, it is called "The Scrappy Cleanup" and it can be found in Forums under Projects: Long Term/Perpetual. I have put Blake through and gotten her entry approved.
Warning: Spoilers for The Charlatan of Choice inbound.
Would Gambol Shroud being destroyed (while Blake survives) in canon while Gambol Shroud survives (while Blake dies) in this fic be Harsher in Hindsight or something else?

I do not think it is Harsher in Hindsight. Harsher in Hindsight involves a tragic event looking more tragic because of later events and Blake died (chapter uploaded January 10th) before Gambol Shroud was broken in the show (episode uploaded January 12th, two days later). There might be a comparison or irony trope but I can't think of its name. Maybe bring it to Trope Finder?
Should all spoilers be left unmarked (except for those from The Charlatan of Choice) in order to get rid of the big white blocks on the page?

Might as well. The new Complete Monster entries spoil a lot from The Atrocities of Atlas.
Is there a trope I can use in the Unintentionally Unsympathetic entry to show the fans aren't thinking things through? Fan Dumb is Flame Bait so I'm looking for an alternative.
I'm talking about this section in particular (in bold).
- To a portion of readers, Remnant as a whole is this. Some feel Earth has been forced to sacrifice too much compared to Remnant, even though they were uninvolved in the war until Remnant dragged them into it. This made several readers hope that the forces of Earth will have enough and use nuclear weapons on Remnant. This is despite only Atlas, Salem, and maybe Ozpin being responsible for Earth's involvement in the first place, and Remnant being home to half the main characters and millions of innocents.
Misaimed Fandom? Ron the Death Eater? Designated Hero?
Edit: I thought you meant a different part. Some of those won't work for the bolded section.

Does Blake count as a Scrappy in this series? A lot of reviewers have not held back their hate for her, tho that hate mostly spawns from the transferred sins of her canon self (running away all the time, leaving Team RWBY and Yang, acting hypocritically, being a coward, acting self-righteously, not trusting her friends (repeatedly) etc.) I am surprised Blake is not a Scrappy on the RWBY page. Is she considered one here?
