Not at all. Then Alpha mains can't play at tournaments with her.
Banning her would be ridiculous. The sheer hilarity of someone trying to use Alpha-152 in a tournament would ensure anyone running the tournament would go through the effort to unlock her. Seriously she's terrible and not viable at all.

All the more reason for me to use her at events!

Is she as bad as Helena or worse?

Pup is pretty much the most dedicated person I know with Alpha, I'm sure if anyone figures out anything it will be him.
Let me put this another way: the other person would need to be the manifestation of an omnipotent deity to use her properly. If she's knocked down she's dead. Period. Her only option upon wake-up is how long she takes to jump back the same distance every time. She can't just stand up. She can't do a wake-up kick. She can't tech to the side. She will always jump up and back the same distance and direction every time and is at neutral and hittable immediately upon landing. It's a 50/50 on being grabbed or attacked every time. If the enemy has ground grabs you're even more screwed. Her only option is to never be knocked down. Period.

Fan service if she wasnt playable then some people would complain about not being able to use her.

Ok... can't argue with that. She really should have had some unique options like teleporting from the ground to the back of the opponent, or some type of multi hit wakeup kick or jumping up to the side or.... anything.
I kept thinking she was "at least better than in Dimensions" but from what I'm hearing, is she even worse?
Doesn't seem to have one in DoA5. I'll retest in a few hours but I spent a lot of time on the ground with her thanks to Rikuto and never once got a kick regardless of position.
She's worse than Dimensions from what I can tell. Her only real saving grace are her offensive holds which are scary as fuck. Problem is the inputs for her two best ones are difficult to pull off on reaction to a move coming at her and you risk being counter hit to do it.

I've played against her in dimensions, and there are times where she can teleport on wakeup, I figure pup would know more about that. Im pretty sure its only against the wall.
