Multiple flight changes - any risk?

No, there is no issues with a 'reasonable' number of changes so long as fare you are immediately changing from has no specific restrictions.
Southwest generally has few restrictions on changes, you just have to pay any fare difference.
What is reasonable? 1, 3, 5? Still not entirely unusual.
Where it becomes a problem is if you demonstrate a history of chronic changes where they think you're trying to game the rules.

I've never heard of any limits or problems with this. Given that Southwest allows changes without fee, they should certainly not be surprised when people with rapidly changing plans make frequent changes.
They do have a rule that you can't make a reservation that you are "obviously" not planning to fly; e.g. two flights at overlapping times on the same day, or two flights departing from two distant cities on the same day. See 2 (a) (iii) (f) in the Contract of Carriage. So don't try to make "backup" reservations. But otherwise I can't think of any problems.
It's possible this will increase her chances of getting additional security screening. There isn't anything she could do about that, and explaining your plans to the airline wouldn't help. So it would be wise to allow extra time in case security takes longer than expected - but one should always do that anyway, because one can always be randomly selected for extra screening even if everything is normal.
