It's in the text that Moses committed the sin of pride and wasn't able to make it to the Promised Land
But in the text Miriam does in fact try to wrest leadership from Moses and gets stricken with leprosy for if

Part of the text's purpose is to integrate Levite culture w/ other Hebraic/tribal cultures, so yeah it establishes Aaron & Moses' authority

In the Talmud, Miriam's role is expended as prophetess; she foretell's Moses' coming as redeemer of the Hebrews etc.
