I don't see how Cinder continuing to use Dust in Volumes 1 and 2 would be retconned, to be honest. It would actually be really clever of Cinder to keep using Dust for a while just to keep Ozpin's group from realizing she was the one who attacked Amber. It would explain why Glynda -who fought Cinder in the first episode - was surprised that the infiltrator lady with glowing clothes is the same person who attacked Amber. She should know how to tell that someone is using Maiden powers instead of Dust, but if the canon is still that Cinder was using Dust in her clothes, then that would be why Glynda couldn't tell Cinder was Amber's attacker.

If they had realized sooner that Amber's attacker was nearby, especially on Beacon's grounds, they would have probably gone to Pyrrha sooner, but they didn't realize it until It's Brawl in the Family when Qrow told them. It was better to keep her stolen Maiden powers hidden so that Ozpin's group would still think they had time.
