I'm familiar with the convention you're referring to where characters' personalities change out of convenience, but I'm not seeing that in the books so far. Dot's first appearance in the book series were under unusual circumstances, ones where you can imagine even a relatively docile Catholic girl might be ready to fight back against the man who not only attacked her, but has endangered the welfare of her entire family who relies on her wages. That's serious business in that era, with no job and more importantly, no references, that family has significantly damaged her chances of earning a respectable living. Later on, once her position with Miss Fisher is secure, her personality arc settles down to a fairly predictable one. She's clearly more conservative than Miss Fisher, but she admires her employer and her loyalty is, understandably, to the eccentric lady who cared about her in her time of need and gave her a good job.

In the TV series, Hugh clearly has difficulty wrapping his head around the non-traditional aspects of Dottie's job and gender roles, but only as it applies to her. Note he has no problem accepting Miss Fisher in her unique capacity as a female private investigator. But at the same time, Hugh loves Dottie and he IS proud of her accomplishments and cleverness, so he deals with his preconceived notions of how a woman ought to be behave. Again, I don't really see that as being an inconsistent arc in terms of logical character development.
