Sachi's death was a little overreacted, of course it's a big deal that she was Kirito's first love in SAO but c'mon, she was meant for character development, and was barely even around for that long (in both the anime AND the novels.) I cried when she died in the anime but when I re-watched I barely shed a single tear.

If they were to find a way to integrate Sachi back into the story somehow, I would say it'd be a major asspull... HOWEVER, I do think there'd be ways it would work.

What ways? Not sure... but the reason I say it's a possibility is simply because of Clannad: After Story. Remember when Nagisa died? When she did, I was so ungodly sad, and I felt like she'd never be back because, and my words exactly, "trying to bring her back after such a thing has happened would just be a completely unnecessary asspull." And then they did it; brought Nagisa back, in a way that wasn't an asspull at ALL, in a way that was so perfect and was the main reason why I loved the series.

So really, anything's possible. Bringing Sachi back from the dead would be possible in a way that doesn't seem like a complete asspull. It'll never happen, but it is still something that COULD work 100%.
