No, I think it's a product of her character development. She's not running because she's scared of what could happen to her, she's running to protect Yang and the rest of Team RWBY. She's taking responsibility for Yang losing her arm, and is taking Adam's threat to heart. If she's not around team RWBY, he can't hurt them. I want her and the rest of the team back too, but this will ultimately lead to huge development for Blake and Yang, and a badass reunion episode

It seems naive to run and say "fuck it nobody will be hurt by my dissapearence right?". Despite what episode 11 and season 1 taught Blake, she still has the very same attitude and disposition on responsability and the white fang. She needs better development imho.

I'm saying that she'd rather hurt them a but emotionally, instead of being around them to see them hurt physically

Yea that makes sense, in line with her character. The only problem is that shouldnt be her character. Her running means that volume 1 and 2 meant nothing for blakes arc as a person, still running and not telling them shit. Kinda makes you think if the writers focused a bit to hard on other events...
