I'm just gonna come out and say it: She fell to her doom unless you view the comics as canon. She really didn't seem able to use her wings, the way she was flailing her legs, and besides, evidence in Wonderbolts Academy and Applebuck Season suggests she'd have to be faster than Rainbow Dash to recover from that. As to the fall, Canterlot is higher up the mountain than either of the fatal falls Twilight almost took. So unless she has a resistance to long falls - which is the case in the comics - she's dead. And the comics have shown what would happen if she survived, and you can view them as canon if you wish, but the show won't do anything to confirm them.

Aside from the comics, the only reason people believe she survived is because they want her to, they love her too much as a villain to wish death on her. Maybe the reason Meghan hasn't confirmed it like she did with Sombra is because she considered the possibility of bringing her back incase enough fans wanted her to, even if she intended otherwise, but after the reaction to Discord's return "ruining the character" I think they'll want to avoid risking the same with her.

Alternately, there are those who believe she used her wings to recover, but the comics depict her hitting the ground and surviving with Joker Immunity and they're probably the closest we'll get to a return
