Mostly by Fisher's own design. She apparently made it clear from the beginning she wanted very little to do.

Han going back to ANH Han was lame but at least it was fun,

Super lame. Not fun.

Luke's absence had a ****** explanation but overall he still got to do cool stuff.

No cool stuff. The only "cool" thing he did was the Force projection and the shoulder brush-off, which everyone hated.

What did Leia do in the new trilogy that was at least cool?

I'd argue the Mary Poppins maneuver, if only for the simple reason that we finally got to see Leia use the Force in some meaningful way. Particularly after we were told she never bothered to learn the Force by Abrams in the previous movie because [insert bullsh** reasoning].
