I think Nicola was much the same as Masema, Asunawa and Aram. I would put money on the abrupt, unclimactic deaths being Jordan's way of expressing his wartime experiences.
In fact, these deaths get bonus points from be because unlike so much of ToM, they don't seem contrived and overstated, but actually feel more subtle, more like Jordan's original writing.

If you didn't get Rand's transformation, you're not the intended audience...

Yeah, while you're busy not believing that, you should believe in things like the One Power too.

I would be unhappy with that ending because the Creator has never worked directly.

If Rand was one of the supporting heroes, maybe. But he's the "messiah" character

We haven't had a Rand POV, so I don't think you can say for certain that it's random.
