I think that the notion that client and therapist aren't equal is a distortion to begin with. You're absolutely equal with your therapist anyway.
Now, in terms of boundaries, the only ones I can think of are ones around contact? If you're asking if therapists are likely to relax rules around phone, email, text, out of session contact, then no. But that's just a matter of logistics. If a therapist had 20 clients, all of whom wanted contact whenever they liked, that would be a nightmare.
If you're talking about other boundaries, then I'm not sure what the answer is, but I suspect it is probably no. The therapeutic framework is there to keep the client in a safe place and give the therapist much needed breathing room outside of the therapy relationship.
