I understand what you're saying. I also admit I've never read the original stories so I can't say what they've dne with Watson's character bothers me.
Joan not *needing* Sherlock, at least not in a clear obvious way is a nice change I think. She seems to enjoy learning from him and spending time with him, but the division, I actually like. You see the moments, rare though they are when this Sherlock needs Joan, but it's more that he respects what she can offer rather than desperately needing her there to help him.
It might be me, but I don't think Joan can walk away with no repercussions, but I believe she feels more able to cope on her own, much as this Sherlock is slightly more emotionally balanced.
I'm very curious I admit about the next few episodes to see how they deal with Joan's apparent leaving.
