Yes, "embracive of" is pretty good.

Tdol's suggestion was for the verb 'embraces', which works; 'embracive of' does not. In fact, I doubt if it exists.

I have seen this but I wasn't sure what was meant by "embrace" in "disposed to embrace." If it's "hug" than it's not helpful. And "caress" can mean different things too. But I'm with you here generally. I think it's understansable and justified to use "embracive" your way.

I can tell you that my opinion is that "She embraces new tasks" sound far more natural than "She is embracive of new tasks." Far more.

She is enthusiastic about ... is one more option, which I think you suggested yourself, didn't you?

The problem is that the whole sentence goes like this:

"You will find her to be dependable, flexible, and ... of new tasks."

That is why I opted for "embracive of."
