Most of her past activities have been a success. The cat scratch, getting pregnant to get her powers back, Taking Nicks powers. After each one we saw her leaving with a feeling of success.

She Sean and her mother threatend her to do her job and get the key. Her failure resulted in her mother and Sean throwing her out. She worked with Viktor who threatened to kill her and put her in the dungeon. Kenneth was surly ready to kill her if she failed. So working with Nick and friends was a easy choice. With them, cooperation was not under penalty of death like with her other allies.

Past Adalind and this adalind would not and did not take the potion as a sacrifice. She has a reason for wanting to use her mothers parts. Knowing Juliette has the powers she does. Knowing she has run from the Royals yet again. There is no way she would intentionally leave herself unprotected.

There is debate if her concern for Diana is true concern or the consequence of the contract. Remember the only reason she got pregnant with Diana was to sell her.

From a story point changing Adalind to good would leave the show without a source of internal conflict. The conflict was Nick and Juliette trying to work together with Adalind being the force of division. The only one left is Sean to cause internal conflict and he needs Adalind to perpatrate that conflict. Sean has never done his own work, unlike Kenneth who did not mind getting his hand dirty.

The only other character they could use is Trubel. That would make Jaquline become a regular on the show. Trubel and Chavez could become the new Sean and Adalind. But then what do they do with Sean and Adalind who are requlars on the show.

I see why the points you make would lead to seeing a change. But for these example to explain change would require trust in Adalind. For me to trust Adalind I would need to see her put someone elses needs before her own. Not experiment on her unborn child. OK I am fixated on Adalind sujecting her child to the violent convulsions. Also the using the argument "it's your child protect me" to get Nick help. Yet again her kids are a pawn in her plans.

Now I will admit Adalind did make one statment that could indicate some type of change. The change being finding a way out of the wesen life. The clue was when she was remembering being happy as a lawyer. Before Sean recruted her for all this covert stuff. For that change she would have to leave portland and start over somewhere. She has to many ties and people with expectations of Adealind being Adalind and will call on her to do her thing.

Problem with that dream for her future. I am not all sure that her being an effective lawyer was because of her lawyer skills and not her ability to influence others.
