They are quite robust however if you change it now it may stop growing while it recovers from the shock and it may decide to drop any fruit it has started. If you do it now, make sure to nurse it through by keeping it in the shade then semi shade for the next few weeks.

One thing to keep in mind is that top soil is not the best to use for plants in containers. It can become heavy and compacts when you water it. Ideally you would use potting mix to ensures a soil structure more suited for growing in pots. It also contains elements that help maintain the right level of moisture, which might be contributing to what you saw. When top soil dries out in a pot, it can be difficult to re-wet and can turn into a solid block. So you might consider repotting using potting mix in the future.

Figs take about 2 - 4 months to ripen.  

They will grow fast for the first few weeks.  Stay that size for what seems forever and then swell up to their full size just before ripening.

I've seen asphalt melt on hot days. Imagine the heat stored, amplified and released late during the night.
On hot days, you could spray the asphalt with water to cool it quicker or/and put some mulch like pine barks - although I imagine this is a walkway and that would look messy ...
The looks fine now, so just keep a good watering schedule and that should help. If the pot is on the small size, you could pot up to allow more freshness for the roots.
