Yes, she would get better results with a 150-600mm lens on the, fairly basic, 200D. But I have heard it's easy to handle on the larger camera bodies (but I can't say for sure as I have no experience with the Canon SL2 (200D) camera). I have been using a Tamron 150-600mm lens for years on Canon T3i (600D) and Canon T7i (800D) cameras. My latest pictures with that lens are here:

It should be cautioned for users that the 150-600mm lenses are relatively large to use hand-held and for some people this could be difficult. Although I have no problems with using it hand-held because I carry the camera/lens combination in a side bag and when I pull it out to use it or hold it, I first start by cradling it. My wrists were a little sore the first day, until I started using common sense to find out the best way to handle the lens.
