in the Buffyverse a "fate worse than death" is quite possible.
I mean, by your logic Angel couldn't have dramatic tension because he can be disembolwed but stand up again later.
they don't play it up because it is too dark for the genre.
As for Angel, I think he is significantly less heroic than Xander and that this problem is exacerbated by the fact that he isn't the underdog and he is
very hard to kill.
