I'm sure they will get plenty of development. I felt like the thing about Team RWBY is that they get develop alongside other characters. For example, you need Sun's team to be there to help Team RWBY during the fight against the White Fang mech and there you have development for Sun's team while RWBY (maybe Yang this time?) steals a bit of it.

Team JNPR gets the Pyrrha's arc and Mercury & Emerald might get involved resulting in more development from them.

Then, the real fight against Cinder's team starts once the mech is destroyed and Team CFVY participates, resulting in development.

It's all about giving screen time to the characters, not directly focusing on one at a time but doing all of them at the same time so that no one is left behind like Ren and Nora of JNPR. If every episode is at least 12 minutes length, that gives us more than 1 hour and 12 minutes to expand the world and its characters. And I heard somewhere that episode 1 is 15 minutes long.
