Ah, we agree straight down the line on this. Illyria's developments are interesting. I think that hand off worked because she was still a bit of a blank slate when AtS came to an end.
(Though I am confused -- haven't reread AtF enough to be clear on this -- didn't Spike say in AtS that he knew there was no Fred in Illyria? He couldn't smell her. But somehow he seems to be unclear about the status of Fred/Illyria in Lynch's books. But that's small. Illyria as a totally non-Fred non-human with a weird attraction for humanity is interesting.)
