What else would be useful for building her ability using Kiai?

I don't know that there's anything that will allow Kiai to do direct damage to living things, let alone to inanimate objects, as opposed to being a stunning effect against living opponents. So, if this is how her Canary Cry works in your writeup, it simply won't do a lot of what it does in the comics.
