Right. So. How did Yuki even know she could do that? Did she just assume she could make a black hole and took a gamble? Given how thoughtful she's been this entire fight, her taking a gamble at the very last moment seems dumb, plus she knows Kenjaku has a gravity technique and, again, she's been shown to be thoughtful, so why wouldn't she think Kenjaku would use the gravity technique to save themselves? Maybe she did take one last desperate gamble, it's a very desperate situation after all.

Or maybe she has used this technique before. The higher ups had to know this was possible, since I'm assuming her special grade status hinges on this one attack otherwise she has no real way of "taking down a country." But if this is truly a self-destruct, then she physically couldn't have tried it at all, so they couldn't have known. Also, according to Kenjaku, Yuki's own will also held back the attack, so she had to know what she was doing.

My guess is she's done this before, maybe in a smaller scale who knows, but she has the practice to hold back, and if she has practice then that can only mean she has some way of protecting herself from her OWN technique, no? Maybe a binding vow?

Also Garuda was notably absent, maybe they disappeared if Yuki truly died, or maybe they're still around. Who knows, but, it's not a zero percent chance they're both alive.
