But there's never a triumphant moment when she actually cooks something well for once on her own

Yes there is. Rank 10 Friend Route.

She also explicitly states she's going to continue studying for job licenses and cooking. I'd also take issue with your portrayal of the self-sufficient thing. What Yukiko says is "If I struck out on my own, I know I would have regretted it. I wanted to become completely self-sufficient. But I think I was being too presumptuous." I think an equally fair way of reading that is that she's reconsidered the idea of relying on her family and friends as a negative. She originally felt doing so prevented her from being able to make decisions on her own and was thus a weakness she wanted to overcome, but now she no longer thinks it's a bad thing to accept help from them.

And again, my part in this is simply that Yukiko's character development doesn't go backwards. That's the claim of yours that got me involved in this. You can hate her development and I wouldn't have an issue, I just think the idea that she regressed as a character is just wrong.
