Here are four definitions for "steadfast." If you take 1 or 2 as the meaning, then "steadfast progress" is a malapropism: steadfast (immovable) progress (movement).
If you take 3 or 4 as the meaning, then there is no malapropism. Steadfast (firm, unwavering) progress.

1 firmly fixed in place : IMMOVABLE b : not subject to change
2. staying the same for a long time and not changing quickly or unexpectedly

3. marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable
4. firm and unwavering in purpose, loyalty, or resolve
