I think I've finally put my finger on what bothers me about Bellweather unit unity in the show's actual footage:
They only get into trouble together in extremis.
When you look at other iconic magic school trios (such as Akko/Sucy/Lotte from Little Witch Academia), they get into relatively low stakes shenanigans, and have each others' backs in facing the consequences.
The closest we get to that for the unit is episode 2, with Abigail covering for Tally Wind-striking the civilian. However, the nature of that action means that they got away with it.
When Anacostia referred to the unit as pains in her ass, what we saw was the members getting up to things individually, or squabbling with each other. The unit hug each other with all affection, and in S2 we even see them being friends between classes, but they only work together when the plot is really serious in tone (chasing Raelle to the lighthouse, Tarim, Nicte mission, Rite of Proxy, Penelope).
The Bellweather unit do not get into Shenanigans with each other. Not the three of them, anyways. Raelle and Tally got to sneak up on their own guard rotation over the break. And maybe you can count Elayne's bar for Tally and Abigail. Sad trombone noises for Bellcollar.
When they're together, unless the plot is forcing them to do otherwise, the Bellweather unit are honors students.
