I'd like to point out the reason we all thought Raven doesn't think long term was because we believed she was foolish enough to take a maiden into her camp when she didn't want anything to do with Ozpin or Salem.

Her being the actual Spring maiden changes that (could even be the reason she ran away). And she kept the fact under wraps for "over a decade" (Rt said that because they don't like using exact numbers and can have more wiggle room 11-19 years). Then she had a decoy in place for years just in case someone suspected she had a spring maiden. Then when backed into a corner she plots to backstab the villians and steal the relic to use to protect her tribe. If you truly don't trust either Ozpin or Salem these are the smartest moves (Morales asides anyways).
