Turned Adalind from evil woman dependent on a man into a domestic mouse, dependent on Nick. So you're right, she's not even remotely the old version of herself. The new version is worse than the old one.
Bitsie/Juliette/Eve was always contracted to have more screen hours than everyone but Nick and Hank. IMO Grimm ran out of stuff for Bitsie to do so she lost her memory, become the following: a scooby team member, evil hexenbiest, superhero hexenbiest and finally the lead on scooby research and taking risks.
Claire/Adalind always had few screen hours and not could appear in every show. After Claire gave birth it limited her character more than after Bree's had a baby since Bree already was mostly at the spice shop where her newborn would be. Adalind is like her old self since she is just following what her man wants which is not normal here but for a billion women from different cultures around the world would not be shocked.

Many in my personal life have change far more than that. This is something I agree with syscrash about. Alalind only changed what man she is following and had children and learn to care and love them. Adalind was never a physical person on the show. Due to Adalind's education she should have known better and never went back to her mother who pressured her to be with Sean.
Many places in the world women have no say about who they marry or live with. If a family sells a women to ISIS and later she gets away for a better life would you see her as unbelievable, brave or evil?

Pregnancy Causes Lasting Changes in a Woman's Brain
Ronald Dahl, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the work, says he had “a delightful ‘wow’ moment” on seeing the study. “This is a pioneering contribution that not only documents structural brain changes linked to pregnancy but also compellingly offers evidence that suggests these represent adaptive changes,” he wrote in an e-mail.

Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
