I liked the representation
Yes, her sexuality should a second plot device, and yes, she can be a horrible person as well as bisexual, and yes, she is allowed to be confused.
Her sexuality does not have to define who she is, nor does it have to be her most redeeming quality. The plot does not have to be centred around her sexuality, nor do the producers have to walk on tip-toes to make sure anything Annalise does must be in line with her sexuality and must do her sexuality justice.
She is a normal woman, a great lawyer, someone who does some good and some bad. She is an outspoken woman, and a strong human being. These are her redeeming qualities, the ones she chooses to be defined with, and not who she chooses to sleep with. She doesn't have to come out and say "I'm a bisexual woman" for her to be a good representative. She's Annalise, that's all there is to it.
