保守 seems to match quite well the range of meanings that "conservative" has, and is not limited to political conservatism.

J 20. I wish you weren't so conventional in the clothes you wear. 我真希望你穿衣不要那么保守。
See also J # 30, 31, 68, 79, 83

See also F, where they even have 保守的估计 (conservative estimates), for example.

保守 may be considered as being opposite to 开放, which is not necessarily about politics, by any means.
Other opposites are suggested by M ~ 泄漏﹑泄露 改良﹑開明﹑開通﹑急進﹑進步﹑進取﹑前進﹑先進
