^ That's not exactly true. Yachyo and Fumi were apparently good friends back when Fumi was at Siegfeld, and Yachiyo's concern for Shiori is derived in part from how much she knows she's hurting from Fumi's departure. You can see this in the recent Valentine's event, where Yachiyo comes to Fumi's apartment and they reminisce about where they've ended up. Yachiyo likes Fumi because of how much she's grown, and Fumi likes Yachyo because she was one of the few people at Siegfeld who empathized with her.
Yachiyo also isn't Shiori exclusive- she has the honor of flirting with every girl in the game she's interacted with, ranging from Mei Fan to Tsukasa, whom she explicitly mentions she fell in love with during the Arise All You Sons event and keeps bringing up all the time. If anything, she's more morherly or sisterly towards Shiori, since the rest of Siegfeld is not too great at supporting their kohai.
Not saying that some ships are better than others, of course, but Re Live isn't like the original anime- the lack of fixed couples to parallel a frame narrative and Re Live's structure as a long running gacha game allows it to deploy omnidirectional gayness of every permutation. You don't really have 'Partner-sexual' girls like one might find in older stuff- Re Live is packed to the wings with lesbians who are very excited to do theater with other lesbians, and are very vocal about this.
The longer the game runs, the less crack ships there'll be as the 27-character cast interacts with each other, which I personally think is great.
