The counterargument to the whole “Mary had to die or she doesn’t share in the Resurrection” argument is that Mary experienced the pain and horror of death when she saw her Son die and shared in all of his pain and emotion. So she did experience bodily death through him.It suggests Our Lady was deprived her share in the resurrection. The Assumption is meant to be a foretaste of the ultimate destiny of the Church… which is a share in the resurrection.
I myself don’t take a position, I’m just saying that’s what the counterargument is, for those who like to argue this point, which I don’t.
