Heirarchy has been extensively tested; when these alliances lack DC/BC coverage, they get hammered.
The 'Ascendancy' model hasn't been extensively tested; Ascendancy probably have the most skilled memberbase, a number of whom can BC/DC*. We don't know how an alliance would perform if it took the Ascendancy approach and didn't have a core of brilliant players. However, it would probably be the only viable model to generate alliances if we cut the member cap.
*it worked for DLR when they played out of tag too; but they're a group where every member should be finishing t100 and with no politics to worry about.
