I have noticed that there is an armor progression for each of
Kormac (Templar),
Lyndon (Scoundrel)
and Eirena (Enchantress).
What triggers the progression? Is it purely a visual effect or does it have some purpose beyond eye candy?

It triggers based on difficulty level. Inferno is same as Hell, so you get the last follower tier when you reach hell difficulty.
