I think Robin will more of a support fighter, as we have seen in the Thriller Bark arc and partially in Dressrossa, rescuing crew-mates and allies, plus dealing with grunts. I think Franky, Brook and potentially Chopper have more direct combat abilities than her. They could also benefit from her  spying abilities which does not really depend on Observation Haki when she can sprout eyes to nearby locations. As you have mentioned her bounty isn't directly indicative of her fighting ability and I doubt she was ever stronger than Zoro even though defeating Pell was quite an achievement, she has a more valuable role to fill than direct combat, which is not to say she will not be able to hold her own against one of the BB pirates in future, it will just be a more tactical and cerebral confrontation.
