I don't know. While I can see what you mean I think you might be exagerating a little. In the 7º season, we can see Benson in all his awesomeness in "The dome experiment", not even for a second willing to accept that he might be wrong (and he wasn't in the end XD). He even went full Rambo mode just to prove to everyone that HE was right and THEY were wrong. For me in the overall picture Benson is still the same, he has become a little more comprehensive and seems to have solved a little of his anger issues. I think that you might be giving too much importance to the little details instead of looking at the whole picture.

I think that his love for kittens and pigs more reciently is a development of his character showing that he feels very lonly and that's why he tries to get company from pets. Just in case that getting "drunk" with wings didn's show already that he had personal problems (The empty chair in "Dumped at the altar" suggests that he invited someone to be his escort and didn't go.)
