Yes, Marianism is the biggest problem with Catholic Doctrine as it shines a light on the method by which Catholic doctrine is derived. Specifically, it shows how little need there is for the bible in generating said doctrine.

To the contrary, it shows how unwilling Protestants are to draw the obvious conclusions required by Scripture.

Proof: the rejection of Mary's intercession is always couched in the language of "you can't ask dead people to pray for you," thus rejecting the words of Jesus when he said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one who believes in me will ever die."

Necromancy is still necromancy and spiritism is still spiritism. No one is the bible ever prays to Mary or to any other dead person except when they are pagans. Never in the bible when we are being shown how to pray are we ever told to pray to the dead, we are always told to pray to the God directly.

Nicely put.
