It wasn't a deus ex machina to me. It made perfect sense and was somewhat foreshadowed if you read between the lines a bit, but I kind of see what you mean. I don't know if it's more powerful than the elements though because they didn't use them. I have said this before, but I think it would have been better if the mane six had tried the elements first, had them fail, and then have the "Power of Love" scene be used, but have it combine with the elements. The point being that love and frienship (which the elements represent) work best when they are together (this would make it equal to the elements).

The other stuff ("Does no wrong", "No flaws at all") can't be judged on a character who only appears for one episode. As others have said, if she appears more, they may do more to give her flaws and the like. Also, to be honest the only Alicorn that has ever been shown to have flaws is Luna (allowing herself to become evil, and having poor people skills at first). I think that they are keeping Celestia with her "perfect" character, despite her being in more episodes because they want to kids to keep the image of her, so she's not a sue either.
