True, in Vacuo people give no shits about your race as long as you can pull your weight, so her dilemma has no place there. On the other hand her dilemma is not restricted to 1 place, Faunus discrimination is a worldwide issue, and 1 Kingdom where it's nigh-nonexistant doesn't mean it's not an issue elsewhere.

Plus she has things to do in Menagerie. Which I assume includes warning her family about Adam.

You mention how if the show had begun in Vacuo it would've opened things up regarding faunus/human interaction.....but it wouldn't have been really good. See, an issue since the show began was that we haven't actually seen any discrimination towards Faunus, except from an equal-oportunity bully (whose fav victim was a human), and an off-hand kinda-racist remark from a sociopath.

It's at the point many people (myself included) actually believe there's no discrimination (or at least, there wasn't until the WF went crazy). So if the show began at the most equalitarian place in Remnant....well, it would've been even less believable that there's discrimination.
