I honestly have trouble seeing how the generic "reasonable person" would conclude that Wuk Lumat didn't grow. Compare the Wuk Lumat you meet at the start with the one who becomes Dawnservant, and it's night and day. The Wuk Lumat you first meet has no self-confidence and constantly tries to cover up her weaknesses with utterly unconvincing bravado; she has empathy that the other contestants lack, but doesn't see it as a useful trait compared to Zoraal Ja's strength and Koana's cunning. By the time she becomes the Dawnservant, she's confident, she recognizes her empathy as a positive, powerful trait essential to being a leader, she's more willing to openly admit her weaknesses, she even sees the benefit of partnering with Koana as Dawnservants to reflect the Heads of Reason and Resolve.

There's a lot about Wuk Lumat we can debate. Did she receive too much screen time? Should she have had less of a role in the second half of the MSQ? Was her appearance in the final Trial fight really worth it? And so on. But her growth over the story seems like one of the few things that's undeniable. If someone doesn't like the character, it might be annoying to acknowledge that she grew, but that doesn't change the reality.
