The way RWBY seems to be produced, I would expect Shipping to be a very low priority. There is just too much main and primary character arc work to show on screen for a 15-minute episode/12-episode season show to be able to fit it in. Because of this, my call is that any serious shipping will happen off-screen and we'll just have to deal with characters suddenly pairing up with minimal explanation.

IMO, the ball in Volume 2 was not a shipping arc; it was primarily about Jaune and Ruby's social awkwardness as well as a deliberate nod to the Cinderella mythos that is the character inspiration for Cinder.
