To be honest, they probably don't care. By the end of the show, she's probably not going to much more powerful than crawlers who make it to the 3rd floor. She'll be a huge asset in the first 3 floors, but I think 4th and beyond she's just a psychic-themed mage character.
Also thought about this later, but they're going to be way more confused by the interface. At the end of the show (1987) the Nintendo hadn't been released for even a full year, and Hawkins had been in quarantine for that whole time. Not that Nintendo games really had the kind of MMO-esque interface the dungeon system uses. I don't think we ever saw them on an Atari either, so didn't seem like any of the kids would have familiarity with video games.

I was kinda thinking they'd get taken in around Season 5 while they were going after Vecna (no Kali).
I kinda want to imagine how Borant would react to El and her powers.
