I think Thomas (hopefully) was joking, but I agree a couple episodes or more showing Adrien making mistake or flaws would be nice, along with getting called out on them and growing from them. Marinette is the main character, so she's going to be the one to be more developed it seems. However, with Cat Noir supposed to be the deuteragonist, there is something disappointing-feeling and how explored Marinette is with her strengths and weaknesses while Adrien's are so rare and downplayed that it feels unbalanced.

I'm holding my breath that this is intentional and Adrien will show a lot of flaws or bad decisions soon, however. I doubt it, but a plot where Adrien acts very imperfectly that forces his family, friends, love interest, and himself to question his actions and acknowledge the boy is human, not a perfect dream boy. What scares me is that Adrien's external issues will remain the only thing that defines him, not his own internal strengths and weaknesses, and he'll never get a true acknolwedged-in-story time where he messes up as bad as Marinette can in his own way.
