Broadly speaking, it's very difficult - if not impossible - to determine the polarity of an activity in the abstract. It's going to depend in HUGE part on the intentions and personalities of the entities involved. In some cases, an STO going into service with an STS might be successful in ever-so-slowly pushing the STS towards positivity. In other cases, the STO would get absorbed into a negative 'lifestyle'. In yet other cases, the STO might be so selfless that they aren't even considering the effects on themselves, but are instead looking to mitigate greater negativity - such as, in an earthly example, an adviser to a very evil king (or other ruler) who spends their time attempting to lessen the harm done by that king for the sake of the kingdom.
There really isn't going to be a single set answer here.
Also, in such discussions, I feel like it's important to keep in mind that -as Ra made sure to state in his very first session- that polarity is ultimately a distortion/illusion. There is no objective good/evil or positive/negative, there is just the Creator joyfully exploring the fullness of possibilities of the infinity within. While the polarities are a useful tool for measuring self-development among sub-creators, at the end of the day it's really just a dividing of teams that's mostly there just to make existence more complicated, interesting, and diverse. It's as arbitrary as Orange vs Blue, or Smackdown vs RAW - and, likewise, ultimately it becomes just as easy to switch sides as desired.
So even if an STO entity found themselves "trapped" in a situation where they must become STS to continue their journey, it would simply be another wrinkle and point of interest in the development of that entity. (Or vice-versa, obviously.) Eventually, polarity is abandoned and the unity of underlying energies/intention/self-ness is embraced prior to fully rejoining the Creator as part of the whole.
Every path, no matter how convoluted, ultimately has the same destination.
