There were plenty of black prominent side characters if they were shoehorning diversity. Frankly the duo on the bounty hunter show could have been played off hilariously and served a larger role in a live action series.
The Bounty Hunter hosts imply they could be in contact with Spike's team a couple times in the show, when they comment on arrests as they're being made, or recent turn-ins. It would be easy to make them appear more prominantly doing interviews or plot-commentary, and it wouldn't even be too non-canon.
But the girl's outfit is problematic, I'm sure. Even though the fact it is "problematic" is likely the POINT of the outfit, I don't think Netflix is going to get the nuance that Bounty Hunters are not moral, upstanding citizens, but rather deeply flawed people in general, and would have a central command structure that is also deeply flawed. She wears an open-front no-bra outfit to get viewership among problematic people.
Of course, Faye dresses as she does in order to put people off their guard, too. It's also an occupational uniform, in a way: It allows her to bounty hunt safer and easier. Her first real response to being caught was seduction, which isn't as effective if dressed like a nun. If there's an outfit that would do it better, she changes outfits, it's not an affectation or a societal expectation, it's her job and life security. And Netflix isn't going to get that, I'm sure.
