I think it's fine for lore to evolve. We can't operate rigidly on ideas that were formed 40 (or 50?) years ago. Having a bit of variance also makes mindflayers significantly more interesting than the one-dimensional villainy one would expect from something that is little more than a fully grown parasite.
Also, if the player character transforms into a mindflayer, the Narrator specifically says that it's possible for them to be an exception to the norm, like the Emperor. I'll take that.
