Making your NEET bro acclimate to a middle schoolgirl lifestyle doesn't really help him acclimate to a working adult life now, does it ( ̄▽ ̄;)
Small steps at a time, friend. If he won't accept the working adult life, then take a step back to middle school and let him grow up again. Or something like that.
There's nothing particularly difficult about adult life though. If Mihari really wanted to help her brother, in the long run, she should just have help finding him a job.
Problem is, he didn't want a job. He has a HikkiNEET. It's very difficult to help someone who doesn't want help in the first place. While the measures she took were extreme, they were at least effective in coaxing him to do new things and move outside his comfort zone. Which, arguably, is the sort of kick he needed.

Most people don't have jobs for fun, and literally everyone is a bit anxious at the beginning.
Anyway, Mahiro has only being doing stuff he already has, the only difference is that he's a girl now. So unless Mihari plans to have him a little girl for eternity, I fail to see how this is more helpful than just getting him a job that he would need to get eventually.
It could even be argued that this isn't getting him out of his comfort zone, but only shifting it.

By this point I kind of only see a future where he remains in this form. He has already turned more feminine than he ever was manly anyhow from what I can see.

Cause that'd be a great read, today we follow mahiro on his 9-5 job...

Let me introduce you to Skull-faced Bookseller Honda-san...
Hell, just go to a website like www.dailywtf.com or look at the runaway success of Big Bang Theory or Dilbert - there's an unending well of work-related horror stories.
It's just a matter of target audience. Japan is stuck on the school-age demographic to an absurd degree outside of a few outliers like Wotokoi or Honda-san, but that's at best just because corporations that produce anime A) want to target younger demographics, and B) know that older otaku keep buying this shit, anyway, so there's no need to go outside the comfort zone.

Most people would have proper education and job path too though. Assuming our hiki here is the typical manga hiki who either dropped out from school or has a long gap year by now, he's kinda cornered into low-paying dead-end jobs. Given the hopelessness of his situation, why wouldn't he just continue hiki-ing when his parents aren't heartless enough to kick him out?
So I guess at the end of the day, the imouto here is just trying to inject some HOPE molecules into her bro so that he has the will to slave himself in a dead-end 9-5 job.

I get the sense she's trying to rehabilitate him for something a little more than just dead-end work. I would guess at the very minimum she's trying to give him enough of a kick that he goes and gets what he needs for a salaryman position he can work up from. Although, the way things are going Mahiro may end up as a office lady instead.
At the very least, she's had some success with weaning him from some of his habits. This will get hopefully him used to leaving the house regularly and living on a schedule again. Most importantly of all, it gets him used to socializing again.

Also, at least some of Mahiro's problems going by the flashback of their childhood, was that he was constantly judged by the standards set by Mihari. It didn't matter how successful he was, when his little sister more successful. Here, (s)he gets a chance to reprove themselves and build up some confidence.

Isn't Mahiro a In-Home Security Guard? Would've thought that's a job. Meaning "no social life" is pretty much the problem to fix.

Oh, this 29yo jobless college grad with crippling social issues would very much like to disagree.
It became a somewhat bitter first day.ContinuedIt's okay, it's okay, I'm not mad at all...Heh...Ah... Auuu...
