Obviously not, in what world do you live?

What character growth, to begin with? She acknowledges that she's a coward when it comes to her personal problems, "always" (hyperbolic) fleeing instead of facing her fears. She did it when her race was revealed, she did it during the crisis at Vale. She never truly learned to face her fears instead of fleeing first.

''Yang: I'm sure you'd figure it out. You're not one to back down from a challenge, Blake.''

''Blake: But I am! I do it all the time! When you learned I was a Faunus, I didn't know what to do, so I ran! When I realized my oldest partner had become a monster, I ran! Even my Semblance! I was born with the ability to leap behind a shadow of myself; an empty copy that takes the hit while I run away!''

It is far from baseless, for it's exactly what she's done. It is not inconsistent either, in fact it's in-character, she even said so herself. It doesn't conflict with what they have been building at all, I'm just saying that Blake facing Adam and the WF, will simply come later, once she does truly stop being the coward she thinks she is, and confront her problems.
