No, I mean Mordin and Legion are galaxy changers. Miranda gives you nothing you can't get elsewhere.
Not really.
You could pluck one of Mordin's STG buddies (Or even Maelon), or, assuming Legion doesn't ever hook up to the geth network after ME2, just fabricate a new body.
Not the point.
Each playthrough is a closed universe. In playthroughs where Mordin is alive, the krogans have to thank him. Mordin Solus cured the Genophage, no one else.
Sure, you, the player, can just say "Another scientist from STG could have done it.". But Shepard, the character, doesn't know that.
Miranda has something like this, it might just not be important enough.
Which is why I always use the word "Could".
I know that every play through is its own universe, and I try to avoid placing my choices into other's games. For me, since I let Maelon live in both of my canon Shepards, I could just have him continue from his own or Mordin's research, and voila, Mordin isn't needed.
