Being decontructed and having character dynamacy doesn't make a character not a tsundere. It's just an archetype. A bases for which a character can grow. It describes a character with a specific set of traits but how defined they are by them depends on the writer. At it's most basic, a tsundere is a character who appears harsh and mean on the outside, but as the story goes on they're revealed to be a much kinder and senative person on the inside.

Which is what Touka does. She just doesn't appear like your typical tsundere because she's actually well written (they seem to be pretty fanderized these days) and her entire character doesn't doesn't revolve around it.

A character being tsundere isn't a bad thing. Being a badly written tsundere is a bad thing.
